Original vinyl wallpaper in this bathroom was peeling badly, due to humidity and poor ventilation. The design was dated, too. And, gee – borders are pretty much a thing of the past. Time for an update. Old paper has been stripped off, wall has been primed. Ready for the new stuff!What a pretty and cheery pattern! The window looks out to a lush and green backyard, and this foliage-themed wallpaper helps pull the feeling inside. I was losing natural daylight, so the pretty blue and lime tones are not showing up well. The colors are a little more true here. This almost looks like a water color painting!A Street Prints is the manufacturer. This is non-woven material, also called paste-the-wall. It went up very nicely. And, because there is no vinyl and because the substrate has a higher polyester content and less paper, this should hold up much better in the humid bathroom. Nonetheless, I did lecture the homeowner to run the exhaust fan and to keep the bathroom door open for air circulation.
The home is in the League City subdivision south of Houston.

Thank you, Margaret! The décor in this house has been untouched for 30 years.
I’m doing five rooms here. As the wallpaper moves from room to room, the transformation is really changing the tone and feel of the whole home!

The rusty door hinges also indicate how much moisture has been in that room.
The new wallpaper pattern and colors looks outstanding!
