Not since my own mother selected wallpaper for the living room of my childhood home have I been anywhere near the stuff. Mistakenly, I have stashed the sticky stuff away in my head under the column of things of the past. My opinion did not cover all dwellings or buildings, just those that are not five star or stately.
Now, I am changing my mind, and not only embracing wallpaper, but using it in some unconventional ways. Surely you have heard the term decoupage, and maybe even dabbled in it. Possibly you have decorative boxes or picture frames this way. Well take it to the next level, attach that paper to the tops of tables, the inside of wardrobes, or wherever else strikes your fancy. If you have remnants of a wallpaper you have used elsewhere, the only work is to cut it to the proper size involved, cover the object of your affection with decoupage glue, affix the paper and cover that with a couple coats of the glue. To limit your chance of accidents, such as water glasses perspiring and pulling up the paper, finish it all off with a shiny spray sealant.
