I searched on paperweave, this came up. BTW, that is a beautiful look. Grass cloth and more

That's a great look! Arapaho may have found a good dupe for you.

Ok, spill it, Rory. Where are you thinking of doing this fabulous look?

(I’m obsessed with anything grasscloth related and will live vicariously through you.)

I grew up with real grasscloth wallpaper on one wall in our large, expansive and lived-in living room. I highly advise against it if you have a home and room that is going to get a lot of use. Unless you are super careful, it stains, spots, tears, peels and is easily damaged by bumping up against it. Light fades it, which can have uneven results in a whole room as the light hits different spots. Almost impossible to clean, just has to be replaced frequently. Way too expensive, grasscloth is for the wealthy. Imitation grasscloth that is vinyl or something similar, is marvelous.

It's also difficult to install properly. I mean if you want to invest in it, more power to you I love it, but it doesn't wear well so it's not a "once and done" situation for a room.

I could have been grand, hats off to Mom's taste, but in the end it was just "tatty."

I"m wincing. I can only imagine what it cost the PO to put it in 2 rooms here: one with a beamed high ceiling, the other room, walls and the ceiling of a darned octagon with a 20'+ cupola. I admit when I looked at the house 10 yrs ago I didn't even know what it was.

I agree - I don't want real grass cloth. I just really like the look of that pattern.

The paper will be going on the sides of this built-in. The mirror for the back of the built-in is being cut and we will have it installed by next week. The guy at the glass shop said to paint the walls black before putting the mirror up. The walls are not plumb and the black will hide any parts of the wall that may show on the sides.

After the mirror and wallpaper are installed I will add some shelves and put the doors back on. We use this as a sort of plant and seedling house. When DH starts seeds he will use this with a grow light and the doors will be closed. I want it to look nice when it's open and filled with plants and herbs.

We have another one of these built-ins on the other side that is a dry bar. It has the same counter and will have the mirror in the back but it has a beverage fridge and wine grid instead of doors on the bottom. The dry bar is open on the top so I need a paper that looks good in both built-in.

Here is the other built-in. We are not as far along on this one.

Oh, wow! That’s going to be amazing. :)

Well for a plant and seedling house, you definitely want something vinyl or with a washable coating. So jealous! I dream of installing something like that in our bathroom, which is the one room with enough extra wall space. I imagine it around a soaking tub. Right now we have a handicap accessible huge walk-in shower room from the PO which we retrofit as a mini greenhouse during seed starting season . . .

That is going to look fantastic. Please keep us posted!!

I honestly hate how many choices we have here in the USA. It's so difficult for me to make any decision because I fall into a rabbit hole searching for the "perfect" solution to my very minor issue.

I once searched for imitation grasscloth wallpaper, because if I ever get around to it, I would like to put it in my dining room, at least on one wall and maybe three. There are a lot of nice fake options out there.

If you like change and don't want permanent, this is an option. Samples would be nice to see how realistic it is.

Peel and Stick Grasscloth Wallpaper

Of course, there is the less expensive option of using Hildi Hay.

😂

That room will live on in infamy! I remember watching it in real time, just horrified for the poor homeowners!

Did they paint over it??

Pink, no, they had to pay a lot to have it removed, iirc. It damaged their walls ... an old Craftsman.

And some of the household had severe allergies! It was a nightmare for them.

ETA: Oh, goodness, it’s way worse than I remembered. And I was wrong — they removed it themselves. Old article:
