Interior Paint vs. Wallpaper

[jerometl]

Still on the fence about this. Wallpaper (bedrooms/bathroom) or just paint? What are your recommendations?

Anyone know what kind of wallpaper was used on the model homes that kind of has a fabric woven type?

We have the woven fabric wall paper in our kitchen and our bathrooms. 

I believe the brand or type was called scala silk.  We have a linen color in our bathrooms and a faded red in our kitchen. 

I'll check when i get home.

I don't like wallpaper because if you later on you don't like it or want to change... it's a pain.

Paint is easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Paint FTW.  Wallpaper will eventually look dated and as IHO said, a royal pain to remove.

Yeah it's called Scala.  I used Orlando's painting company for this.

I attached a small picture of how it looks.  I apologize for the bad quality photo, it was from my iPhone. 

I really love the textured feel and look of this wall paper.  We get a lot of compliments on them.  I wouldn't do the whole house with wall paper but instead only use them in rooms where you want to create a warmer feel to it.

Orlando went out to JC?  That's one hell of a contractor!

i ordered them separately, not from Orlandos.  I'll ask the wife how much it was, I sign the checks, I dont ask questions or write the amount
