$50 Thibaut wallpaper murals — 11 designs — get ’em while you can

Kate - August 8, 2014, Updated: June 5, 2021

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

UPDATE: Supply long gone, but I’ll leave this 2014 up for historical reference.Yes, these are supposedly $850 retail murals. Limited quantities remain — could it be they are being discontinued by Thibault, and they’re clearing out their vaults?  Yikes: If you’ve been longing for some vintage style wallpaper mural action for that long lonely wall in your bedroom, dining room, living room, basement or den, now seems like the perfect time — the last time? — to score one — and for a steal. Thanks to reader Rhonda for this awesome tip.

Hmmmm…. One of these might even work for a wall of that far eastern-themed tiki lounge you’ve been hoping to create.

We’ll say it again. Yowza! Pam bought one for her master bedroom. She wants to buy them all, she says. For her collection hoard. Alas, DH amused. Not one bit.

    I have the Roman columns in pink/blue that I have not yet put up. I plan it for my music room wall with my black grand piano.

    Does anyone have a mural that’s just sitting, waiting for a wall? I have been looking for Magnolia Hill, but would settle for the nautical or other homes.

    My first home had the Magnolia Hill scene—the reason I bought the home and one of my regret for leaving it…(new owners painted over it).

      Hi Nathan
      I purchased Ships Haven mural a few years ago during the Steves Wallpaper sale. I am in the process of building a new home and plan to use it in my dining room. I bought more than I needed just to be on the safe side. I am pretty sure that I may have some panels left. I will let you know once the house is completed!
