When I was growing up, we had a completely rad basement because one entire wall was floor-to-ceiling a forest. Yes, it was a hideously fantastic ’70s-’80s (I don’t know; it was there when I was born) wallpaper mural.
A few months ago, I was looking for a new house to rent and ran across this one in Longmont with an entire room that was a forest scene. The landlord was apologetic, saying he meant to tear it out soon because it was really hurting the house’s renting potential.
Seriously? Maybe I am just too gangster for this decade, but I think that sounds fantastic. You don’t even have to hang pictures. No, you can’t. Or they look like they’re floating and they totally disrupt the vibes of your outdoor-indoor sanctuary.

OK, maybe I need medicated. But still, I swear wallpaper can be cool. If you don’t believe  me (understandably), check this out:
