Hi folks,
Was wondering if ye could help me. We are doing up the living room (painted) and left the 2 walls either side of the fire place to be wall papered. Now i have never ever done wall papering before neither has my wife. So how do you do it? The walls are just painted plaster at the moment. There is no previous wall paper to peel off. We have bought the wall paper already (flower pattern, dont know if it has lining on it). I suggested that we should get a decorater to do it for us as we have never done it before. But i was shot down. So how do you go about wall papering? i have bough the adhesive and the wall paper brush to apply it to the wall. also bought a brush to apply the adhesive to the back of the wall paper. And to make things difficult there are sockets, TV points, vents etc etc to get around too.
thanks in advance.
