kids furniture

So we are gone in 10 days (HALLELUJIAH!!)

Kids furniture. . .specifically, a bookcase and an armoire-style storage cabinet for DD1. We attached both of these to the wall here. In our new house, there is wallpaper (it's not really that bad. It's very neutral.) and I am scared, very scared to put 8 holes in the wallpaper (per piece of furniture). We are only there for 2 years.

Would you attach the furniture? Or buy a new bookcase, etc. that is low enough to not be an issue? My girls have actually never even attempted to climb anything more than the sofa but better safe than sorry. My DH tells me not to worry about tipping. This is the same guy who used to buckle my DDs in their carseat with the top buckle closer to their belly button?!?

I wouldn't have a bit of an issue with attaching the stuff to the walls.

(are you renting? then you could always check with the rental agent, the owners may have extra wallpaper for patching purposes anyway)

there's nothing that a little spackle and some paint the same color as the background can't cover.

People aren't that aware of wall smudges, especially of distracted by an overall pattern.

I agree. That is quick work for a handyman if you don't have time.

If there is any furniture that would have the chance to tip, I'd attach it.
