  1. We put up a ton of wallpaper in our first house, and about the time we finished I decided I did not really care for it.

    We bought some at Home Depot and some a wallpaper only shop.

    The Home Depot stuff was pre-glued so we would wet it and put it up.
    The stuff from the wallpaper shop was not, so we bought 5 gallon buckets of this nasty glue stuff that looked a lot like Dave’s Mexican Yougurt.

  2. I papered one (teeny room) & learned a lot – such as the prep must be absolutely perfect; measure three times not just twice, etc. But the most important thing I learned was to hire a pro for any more wallpaper jobs.

  3. Agree about the trees, too, jackal. There were some nice mature trees in my garden when I bought the house, but when I moved in, I also planted a Japanese Maple, a Purple Flowering Plum, and a Lilac that my mother gave me.

  4. lech – I had a chair rail already. I’ve done it in 2 rooms – in one the paper is pastel florals on a cream background & the paint is the pale blue of some flowers; in the other, it’s ivy on a cream background & the paint is one of the greens in the ivy.
