Advantages: Lovely warm texture when finished...

Disadvantages: ... if it ever gets finished

Aaaaauuurrrgghhh!!!!!!

We spent nearly three hours trying to put some lovely paper on the wall and ended up with just one small sheet above a window that we're happy with.... we just couldn't get the second sheet right!

First lesson learned, keep the Stanley knife away. Second lesson, ignore what it says on the packaging of the rotary knife B&Q will sell you - I guess scissors are the only way to go, but it needs to be exact otherwise you get millimetre gaps of wall showing at the edges, very untidy.

I am so looking forward to having the room complete but find myself considering paying someone professional to do it rather than waste the same money trashing perfectly good rolls of wallpaper. I phoned my Mum for advice and she said that she and Dad usually ended up throwing things at each other and wrapped more paper around each other than went on the walls - so probably not a skill prevailant in our family then!

One word in future... "Paint" :o)
