Hubby reluctantly agreed to this insanity and so it began. Because this had a pattern we had to measure and pre-cut each panel. Using the living room floor for this part worked best. Once cut to size, the paste was rolled on as this came un-pasted. The table out on the veranda was where the paste was applied, I was’t scared of spills out there. We unrolled each piece, and then applied the paste with a foam roller. Then rolled it back up and placed it inside of a plastic bag to soften. This is the part where it helps to read the directions on the paste container. And yes, hubby actually read it as I rolled my eyes because I thought for sure he would know how to hang wallpaper by just looking at it.
