I have mentioned before how I want to redo our half bath. It is a perfectly fine half bath, but it is covered in dark red wallpaper.... and I am not a dark red wallpaper kind of person.
At first, I wanted to cover the existing wallpaper in grasscloth wallpaper.... but then I started reading and it is recommended that you not use grasscloth in bathrooms.
Ok, onto idea 2. I thought about installing bead board on the bottom half of the walls, then grass cloth wallpaper on the top half. I am sure this would look great, but I want something else.
Idea 3 - Paintable wallpaper!
I found this great Martha Stewart faux bois paintable wallpaper and I think it will be perfect for the space.
I want to paint it a light grey.... Now, if I could just decide on the right shade of light grey.
Now I ask: Have you ever used paintable wallpaper? And, have you ever painted anything light grey? If so, start talking!

3 Additional Thoughts:
Love the idea. How fun. (Although I love the beadboard and grasscloth too!!). And your grey choices are fabulous. I like the bottom left one (the cooler tone) the best. You'd have to try them out though!

I want to paint our bedroom a light grey. Let me know what you decide.
I've painted over textured wallpaper before, it's no biggie. In fact, I think it's almost easier. Good luck on the gray choices, I'm not much for choosing colors, so I'll leave it to you!
