I knew immediately that we would keep the grasscloth wallpaper that is in one of our new house bedrooms, which is for our three year old son.

Grasscloth benefits:
1. Hides old nail holes really well (no need to patch if you change your mind about artwork)
2. Gives texture to the room
3. Absorbs sound
4. Works with a variety of styles, especially variations of traditional
5. Holds up for 30+ years
Is grasscloth timeless? According to wallpaperhistory.com, grasscloth did become very popular in the 1970s. This is when our grasscloth wallpaper was probably installed. But it has been around for a lot longer than that. Here is a plate from a 1910 Sherwin Williams book called Your Home and Its Decoration.
Anything that goes with paneled wainscotting, an oriental rug, and colonial stairs with white balusters is pretty classic!
So stay tuned to see my inspiration board for my son's bedroom using the existing vintage grasscloth. . . .
