Or something.
My first length of paper, I managed to tear one corner. I'm calling it a learning experience, firstly that my cutting knife was ridiculously blunt and secondly that pasted wallpaper is more fragile than expected. I managed to cut, paste, rest, fix and trim five panels. It's only the section below the chair rail but I am absolutely chuffed at how it looks so far. The wall is in horrendous condition so it's quite the miracle result.
Now that I have more space, this is a project I can actually complete with Little X at home. The top part will be a leafy pattern, the idea being a sort of verandah or fence looking out onto a garden. Even if I don't pull off the effect, I'll be happy so long as it doesn't clash.
Here is the top design, which I've just found on the manufacturer's website:
I don't expect my flat to look this professional 😂 but it's reassuring to see this background work on top of white.
Spendy McSpenderson: the £70 worth of wallpaper equipment (including a few bits for the rest of the painting).
