I never thought I’d be the type to like wallpaper. It was boring, it was all too flowery, I thought when I was young. Then my mother sponge-painted my room when I was in the sixth grade. “Just like wallpaper but better” she told me. I had to wait until I was 21 to paint over the awful shades of pink. But this wallpaper from Barneby Gates has completely changed my mind. It’s like my dreams (the good ones) came to life and crawled onto the walls.

ewwwww!!! I love those wallpapers, I am starting to lean towards liking wallpaper too. I have to say what I really like are those light fixtures
I love the stars! Yay for designer wall paper! So much better than the typical kind.
I love this – great find! I’m thinking of wallpapering the bathroom in our new place – definitely bookmarking the green one* xo, jane
fun yet sophisticated. lovely choices. in the past year i have been rethinking my attitude about wall paper. i’d like to make it happen in the master bedroom by spring. so many choices. will keep these in mind. : )
I love your story of the sponge painted walls!
These are stunning. I was never a wallpaper type either, but both of these would convert me too – I love the dreamy stars and the delicate look of the second one…such a fantastic find, Brandi! Thank you!
wallpaper has definitely evolved for the better over the last decade. these are marvelous.

Love the scale of these and more muted pattern. Graphic wallpaper in on the outs in my opinion, but these are lovely.
Aw, I love the stars! Perfect for a bedroom!
I am SO with you hun….that star wallpaper has completely bowled me over…sigh.

Wallpaper is a recent love of mine too! I used to think it was tacky, too matronly…but then I saw some really beautiful wallpaper and now I’m in love

Wallpaper is a recent love of mine too

This wallpaper is divine!!!! I love it.
Thanks for coming Sat., it was so fun to see you. xo
I love the branches wallpaper! I found some great wallpaper from Anthropologie a few years ago and desperately wanted to cover all of my walls with it. But how could you do that when you’re a renter in a big city and you move every 2 years?!
wow it’s not very often that i come across wallpaper i like – those stars are amazing!
THANK YOU! X
I love wallpaper! It is insanely expensive here but I definitely wish I could get some for our bedroom ♥
LOVE the teal one..
These are just fantastic! I want to wallpaper our entry way and my closet doors!
i’m loving those lights, the wallpaper is gorgeous too, but those lights are calling my name! jxx
