This is the one type of wallpaper that I would have liked when it was on the wall. It has a beautiful deep maroon color with a very bold leaf pattern.

This was the last layer that was put on. It was the layer we could see.

This is a very weird 50's wallpaper that apparently everyone in town has lurking in their house.

This looks like maybe 30's or 50's wallpaper.

I just can't imagine how this one looked originally.

These were all layered on top of each other in my closet. It was a real voyage of discovery.

It's too bad that you don't have more of the pattern for the first one pictured. It looks similar, possibly identical, to the wallpaper we found in our front bedroom. It had the same deep red/maroon, flowers, and palm fronds.
Yes, that is the only piece we saw that we would have used if we could. It looks very rich.
I THINK I recognize some of that wallpaper! :) I too am in the process of restoring an old house in Kansas, build around 1900-1905.
