But you've convinced me that's it's fresh and modern again! I always assumed it was very 70s (do I have the decade right?!) and stuffy. But the colors! Gasp! And the patterns! Swoon! I'm in love. I hope you do decide to use it in your own home -- maybe a vinyl looking one like in one of the images above? So that you could use it in your breakfast nook!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-66137377984448905492010-06-16T08:25:13.408-05:002010-06-16T08:25:13.408-05:00I haven't tried it but I do love grasscloth. ...I haven't tried it but I do love grasscloth.

I think grasscloth is always a classic. It was one of the very first wallpapers in my home in the 70s. I had it in my entry and family room. It still works today although I no longer have it I still think if I did it would look new and current. What is that saying what goes around comes around!!

They are so well crafted and thought through - you really have a talent. I have never used grass cloth, but I do love the look of it. The James Willey photo makes me weak in the knees and the grass cloth on the ceiling is a masterpiece (Canet's photo)!

Funny, I was househunting last week and came upon an older home with grasscloth that had been painted over....if they had only known it would be in fashion again. I posted the Elizabeth Dinkel room as my Master Bedroom inspiration a while ago and I swear that paper is going up in my Master before we set foot into our new home. I had not seen the Sherrill Canet image before but the grasscloth looks brilliant on the ceiling. I love it.

I'm nuts for it on a ceiling like you posted. I've come to be very fond of the 'raffia' type, which I've found to be a bit more textured. No matter how you whip it up, it's typically wonderful.
