My mom has swiftly and not-so-subtly thrown down the ban hammer to my plans of redecorating. She’s firmly anti-wallpaper, as she says it’s a horribly dated leftover from the ’60s and ’70s. In fact, she’s crushed my dreams on numerous occasions, which might be exactly why I’m completely wide-eyed for this floral wallpaper…
The Etsy shop Betapet offers self-adhesive, removable options, so maybe this could be the perfect compromise for us? I could get my pretty flowers to brighten up my room and my mom wouldn’t be subjected to a huge mess.
What do you think, friends? What’s your verdict when it comes to wallpaper? Is it terribly passé or vintage chic? Would you ever go for the look today?? xoxo

You know in your heart when something makes you happy. It doesn’t need confirmation from anyone else. Every time you see those blossoms you will feel joy. If you can afford the flowers, go for it. And if you tire of them, then paint. Life is short so,if you can, choose what makes you happy!

I totally see where your mom is coming from on it being old fashioned but it seems to be making a comeback! I know Cup of Jo has done a few wallpaper posts and also Emily Henderson who I consider a queen of interior design, so there’s that! Of these three I like the one in the middle, with the red flowers.

These are all beautiful! The fact you can apply and remove with a lot more convenience is huge. It was a commitment in the old days. I know from age (56) where your mom is coming from but I have fond memories of certain wallpaper growing up that held its style and beauty. It’s not all cheesy! Go for it!
I love your blog and areas you cover and I am so grateful for you using your voice regarding disibilities. My 22 year old son has Down syndrome and Autism. He is non-verbal and you help speak up for him with mine and his family and friends joining yours. Thank you, Melissa. ❤️
