If I use it in my otherwise tastefully furnished and decorated home, say in the foyer, will I be completely tacky or will only my foyer be tacky?

I have to agree.

Don't.

It's always the first thing to take down after purchasing a home, and to be honest, what you THINK is in style one year is out the next. Paint is easy to change; wallpaper isn't. It's tacky, tacky, tacky.

Actually, most wallpaper cleans better than paint. Presumably you wouldn't put an uncoated wallpaper in a bathroom. Probably not a powder room either.

Today's wallpaper is not your grandmas. A powder room is the perfect place for wallpaper. Allows others with taste to move beyond Behr "Shining Star."


and taupe. Yuck.

When you find a wallpaper you like, you will also find a good paper hanger through a good paint store. If you are in Virginia, the Potomac Paint Stires in Alexandria, Arlington and Vienna have a good selection of paper and helpful staff. Same for the Color wheel in McLean

On the price issue, you'll find there's a wide range. As I recall the paper hanger wasn't outrageous, similar to a good painter.

The Monarch paint store just south of Chevy Chase Circle. Helpful staff, and they can probably point you to a paper hanger.

The hardest part is that there's SO MUCH to choose from.

http://www.monarchpaintdc.com I see that they have several stores.

I would like to use a wall paper in our powder room...I see awesome pix online, but I'm not sure where to start. Where do you buy nice wall paper? Is this a pricey endeavor?? I'm a bit lost on this one...any insight is helpful.
