Wallpaper is Like Giving Your House a Perm

I said I was thinking of ways to liven up our Dining Room. I didn't tell you I was considering wallpaper.

 

Wallpaper is to Interior Decorating what getting a perm is to hair styles.  It's a commitment you might regret almost immediately.  But in the Spring of 2017 wallpaper made a big comeback.

Now that they've figured out how to make it without the lingering toxic vinyl smell I think it could solve my decorating dilemma.

We opted for a Great Room concept in our current home because we never, or very rarely, used the Living Room in the previous one. But, we did include a separate Dining Room in our plans. Now I want to recapture that space and make it more inviting and useful for the way we live everyday. 

It takes a lot of art or mirrors to make an impression in the Dining Room.

And there's all that brown wood furniture. Blech!!!
You see where this line of thought is going, right? I've tried faux finishes and I'm over them.
I feel destined to wallpaper.

And that Hall Closet I mentioned. The one with all the random stuff. Yeah, I found a huge lilac Ivanka Trump handbag with it's own phone charger abandoned in there :) 
I'm thinking of wallpapering that closet too.
