That looks like what we had in our den when I was grown up! Heinous.

Not exposed straw.

Um....no thanks.

All I can think of is that Trading Spaces with Hildie & that damn hay on the walls & the people complainging it smelled.

Looks like too much work, plus I would think dust would settle in it PLUS when you hate it in 5 years it will be a bitch to get off.

Different, but not for me.

Hildie did a toile room as well - the walls, the curtains, the slip covers, everything. It was disgusting.

OMG. That would be like living inside a fibroid tumor. Why not use grasscloth? I don't mind that in a 30's or 40's bathroom or sitting room.
Wallpaper is hideous for any place I would live, but for what I do, it is fantastic. We use it all the time. My favorite is flocked ****. Awesome. I did an old West saloon once in whorehouse red flocked wallpaper. With Gold highlights. So damned fun.
You should have seen the wallpaper in the Ambassador Hotel in LA. The Cocoanut Grove...staggering. Metallic AND flocked. In Sammy Davis Jr.'s suite there was this stuff....black, silver, and purple...geometric ! With raised flocked felt stripes. Priceless.

I'm not a grasscloth fan. That **** was in my bathroom when I got my current apartment and I couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

I would imagine it's fun to use in a place that you don't LIVE in, man.

Well, it's here. Falling as we speak. Just went for a walk. I felt like singing winer wonderland. Only thing is I might've been thrown in jail for indecent conduct!!!

I just might do that tonight. I LOVE that whole winter nesting thing. Curl up with a plate of Chocolate Chip cookies, some milk, and Stevie. What could be better?

I remember like a few years ago near you in Maryland they got something like 60 inches of snow in a storm. Is that right?

I also watched Grey's Anatomy and agree with Diss' sentiments on that one. That wife beyotch has got to go. I mean, McDreamy pretends he's not on the ferry with her but he cannot go forward with the divorce?

Meredith's hair looked better this episode, they usually have it all mousy looking adding to her "patheticness". I don't want them to make her pathetic. She should go through a makeover like that character on Scrubs. Then she can strut around the hospital like she owns it.

How about the preemptive hysterectomy/double mastectomy? That was a scary story line.

Mcdreamy, is that a new Mcdonalds sandwich?
