Wallpapering
I've lived in my new house for almost a year now and an old lady used to live in it so my family decided that we'd have to do a lot of person work to it. We've gotten all new appliances to the kitchen, had the guest room, living room, entry way, sitting room, dinning room, the extensions' hallway and the solarium painted, my mom and I painted my room, and now my mom and I decided to wall paper my vanity room. My mom said she wallpapered our dinning room in one of our past houses...fifteen years ago. I was pretty worried when we started on Saturday morning but it turns out if you've done it once, you can do it again!
On Saturday we got a whole wall and two quarters done of two other walls. Which is a lot considering we didn't really know what we were doing. Everything I'm saying may make it seem like wallpapering rooms is easy...it is not at all. Wallpapering is the most frustrating thing I've ever done! On Sunday my mom and I started back to wallpapering and got another wall and a half of another wall. But the paper got too heavy and peeled up while it was drying. Which made me even more frustrated but my mom said we can fix it. I really love my wallpaper but it's really challenging to put up with when applying it! The whole time we were wallpapering I kept saying that schools should teach kids how to paint and wall paper rooms instead of Algebra. Don't y'all think so?

I've never wallpapered a wall before, but by the way you describe it, it seems tough! Haha At least it was worth it when yall where done! Interesting blog Lauren! :)
ReplyDeleteWell it seems like even though this was frustrating it was wellworth it! I've never wallpapered a wall before but I can kind of relate to your situation because We are about to wallpaper some rooms also! at least i know what to expect
