I wanted a easy and frugal update to my kitchen. FYI I just removed the wallpaper and it came right down. It lasted 3 years.
Textured Wallpaper in Kitchen

I cleaned the walls with bleach water then sanded briefly with sandpaper.
I then wiped all the walls down and dried once more.
I used $14 textured wallpaper from Lowes. I soaked the paper for 30 seconds, then folded together for 5 minutes before placing on the wall. It's called booking and it's to fully activate the glue on the back. I then used a tool to flatten against the wall. I then used a small cutting knife that provided a clean cut on corners.
I love the outcome so far. This wallpaper is textured and can also be painted.

This is a really nice look for your kitchen. Is the paper washable? I would be apprehensive about using this around the sink or stove as cooking with food splattering or washing dishes and splattering might be a problem. Other than my concern, I think this is a great idea.

I papered my kitchen backsplash about 10 years ago with paintable wallpaper. I wanted it to look like old tin ceiling tiles. Painted the wallpaper silver. I believe the paint was Ralph Lauren. I have washed red sauce splatters etc., with no problem.
