We could not find any canvas art we liked in black/white for my DD room and so we decided to go to Bristol and check out some wallpapers, as soon as we walked in we saw a strip of this wallpaper hanging in the showroom and we loved it. Went to buy it the other week and was told they dont carry stocks of wallpaper and it has to come in from overseas it will be approx 3 weeks, so we got a call last Friday to say that it had come in and we put it up on Saturday. It took about 4 hours to put up I saw a thread on H1 on how to install wallpaper and they said by the third strip you are an expert and I have to agree. I love to paint - I think because at the end of the job it looks so good, but I have to say Wallpapering is also fun and what an impact it can make. My DD and I are really pleased with how it's turned out - her 2 rooms (bedroom and study) are now complete.

Many thanks mclaren, we started from an end, drew a line with spirit level and pencil to make sure first drop was straight and then just joined each drop thereafter, matching pattern wasnt as hard as I thought either but definately a 2 person job.

Thanks Tamara, it certainly gave it the wow factor we were after. It looks so good I think I am going to do the master bedroom as well, just have to buy the new bedroom suite and linen first then will try and match the wallpaper.

You've given me the motivation to continue looking into wall paper for some rooms!!! Re: Our Retreat - New House Build 171May 09, 2011 8:31 pm just Erin ring09 Absolutely stunning! You've given me the motivation to continue looking into wall paper for some rooms!!! Thanks Erin, we went to the Bristol store in High St, Epping, it's also called the Taubmans Centre, we noticed this on 'The Block' when a couple of them used Wallpaper and when we were driving past one day my DD noticed the Taubmans Centre sign and said we should go in and have a look, it's in the block of shops with JB HiFi. They have a huge selection of books and you can sit at the table with chairs and have a look thru, we were there for hours so allow plenty of time. If you go on a Sunday there is a designer Craig who is there and he talks you thru what you want to achieve I just happened to have my camera with me to show the room and he pulled out books to show us options, was a really nice helpful guy.

My DD doesnt think it's very good so I told her to paint one of her own and we'll see which one looks better. Anyway another room down, just fitted off the light fitting. http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab10 ... 0_2487.jpg http://i854.photobucket.com/albums/ab10 ... 0_2488.jpg Site Start: 10th September, 2010 PCI : Friday 27th January, 2011.

The best thing is when you decide to change your colour scheme you can repaint your canvas!!

Re: Our Retreat - New House Build 180Jun 01, 2011 11:05 am Thanks Mclaren, yes it's a good idea, but I dont think I will be changing the room anytime soon. Yes Barb, I did it myself, didnt have a plan just got the colour paints I wanted to match the room and sat down last Friday night and just did what come to me, I did see on Better Homes & Gardens that Tara used Liquid Nails or No more Gaps to use for the raised areas which I did the night before to give them time to dry. Never done one before and really enoyed it, I did think it only cost me $15 for the canvas so if it was bad just throw it out and try again.
