Love me some patterns on my Walls!

Okay, so I'm a Wallpaper pusher... my new fad.  You're probably wincing because you moved into a house with wallpaper like this... (check out those phones!)
Ya, pretty frightening... and I know ya'll are scared by the removal process.  I've removed plenty of pukey paper in my day... all the while cursing the homeowner who thought orange and lime green flowers were loveable enough to plaster ALL OVER the walls!  But toile... really?  Will toile EVER go out of style... (I'm turning into one of THOSE homeowners! and without shame.)

And how could I possibly paint this look in my bathroom?  
I've already told every reader who could stand to read through my incomplete sentences and elementary grammar that I. Love. THIS. Room.   LOVE IT.  Want it!  NEED IT!!  Can you imagine me hand painting that toile so some homeowner after me could praise my name and just paint over it!  NO!  I'll leave my legacy thank you and paper them.
Woman cannot live on Paint alone... I think that's in the House Beautiful Bible...

I have been telling people for the past few years that wallpaper is back in style!! But then again, I guess some of us (like you!) are just ahead of our time :)!! I personally love wallpaper, but prefer it in bathrooms, dining room, and maybe foyer. I've seen some amazing things!! Thanks for sharing these pics! I say you should go for it!

That last picture is to die for. Almost convinces me.... I lived so many years with "country blue calico print" wallpaper that I'm still gagging over the word wallpaper. it's like when gold jewelry came back around. It took a while to get used to the idea.
