In keeping with the age and style of the house we decided to wallpaper one wall in the living room, now being English I have done my fair share of wallpaper hanging so should pose no problems..
The paper we decided on was make in the UK, nice, pre-pasted vinyl, easy to clean. Rather smart we thought.
I started with marking a straight line in order that the pattern and paper would all line up correctly, I think I may have broken the cardinal rule in wallpaper hanging and started in a corner, while still trying to maintain the straight line.
Making progress
Moving right along, so far so good

Getting close to finishing now
Well what was I thinking, 2 pieces left to cut and hang and no more paper. This paper was a special order product from General Paint, looks like we may be living with a 3/4 wall papered wall for a few weeks.
If you ever come and visit 1927 Atlin please admire the wall paper from a distance, lining up the pattern and maintaining the nice straight line did not work out as well as I would have hoped for.
Karen thinks it may just be my critical self but at one point I was ready to tear it all down and start again. I need to check it out in the daylight, it was midnight when I finished after all.
