Decorating with wallpaper

Alexa · 11-04-2006, 03:23 PM

Did anyone try to decorate with wallpaper or know something about it ? I saw long time ago an entire wall decorated like this (a forest and a waterfall) and I gues I got stuck with the idea of doing it one day.

Although that the prospect of having a wall covered by a forest and waterfall sounds interesting, I never had this done....would be nice though.

I've found some very interesting on the net. I hope the following link will function, as they disabled copy/paste option:

Thanks for reminding me of some of my decorating options! I am looking for budget ways to redecorate and this looks cool.

Several years ago my husband and I decorated the end wall in our den with a Fall forrest scene complete with deer. We've had it quite a while but I still like it really well.

Do you you have a shop for wallpapers nearby ?

Our ceilings are 12 foot high, so wallpaper is too expensive for us! I can even get it cheaply - but really - it would take 20 rolls to do one room here.

Even paint costs more than what we'd like to spend. We're doing my office right now - and used 3 gallons of primer just to cover the walls. Then there is the trim, and topcoat paint. My husband bought a color I don't care for. He asked me over the phone, and I thought it sounded fine, but I guess I was busy doing something else, because now that I see the paint (asparagus) I don't care for it. He bought two gallons, and I guess asparagus it is.

Good thing my curtains match that color! Now all we need is crown molding.

These days, one can decorate the walls with just about anything. I saw not long ago a room that was done with denim affixed to the bottom part of the wall with corn starch. The top of the wall was painted and the two sections tied together with a chair rail.

You can do the same think with sheeting.

Years ago my husband and I wallpapered my daughters bedroom. The next morning when we got up it had came off the wall. Here come too find out we should have sanded the walls first. I have not wallpapered again.

There is some horrendous wallpaper on the walls in our bathroom, so my question is what do I have to do to get it off there?
