The house I grew up in had wallpaper. And wood paneling. I didn't mind the wallpaper in the kitchen or the hallway, though. The bedrooms had tacky 70s yellow and orange stuff, but the hallway had white with a green paisley design that could go 3D when you stared at it the right way, and the kitchen had wonderful herbs and spices with their Latin names and scientific illustrations of the plants. I could stare at either one of them for hours.
