But... but... *splutters*
Those wallpapers are iconic! Arwel even has it in his twitter description: It's nearly all about the wallpaper!

They are odd and mismatched (from generations of different tenants, apparently) but they are a huge part of the 221b we know and love.

But you give up too easily!

I can admit that I like some of 221b wallpapers more than others.

Please, continue.  Continue as to why I know nothing in this and many other areas.  I grovel in pleading.

You may be new but so far I"m liking you.

I hope I haven't offended you! It's hard to tell: you are not using smileys at all
Anyhow, I seem to remember the crew saying that they put a lot of effort into the flat looking old and shabby.
Renovating with the same wallpaper now is not very realistic but it keeps 221b (a character in its own right) in character

My attempts at humor do not require smileys. I have been told that is because I am not funny. ( I crack myself up, though.)

I take self-deprecation to new heights, and for good reason.

And there is no offense taken by anything I read online -- ever, ever, ever.  (If I am ever tempted to feel offense I remind myself that the computer has an off switch.) (But you took all of this in sarcastic fun in which it was intended.)
