Wallpaper...

[rich p]

I've been struck by how many people still have wallpaper after looking at various photos on various threads.
I got rid of all of mine many years ago in favour of smooth, clean painted plaster. The picture rails, artex and most of the carpets went to.
I know feature walls were/are fashionable for a while but I'd personally never go back to patterned wallpaper.

Well I'm glad I didn't bother going and getting pissed at the CC Xmas London do. It's so much more exciting round here...

Feature walls work,but I prefer smooth plastered walls.

For the record I'm tea total tonight as the footy crew party is tomorrow and I plan on consuming a large amount of alcohol

I noticed all the cornice rich so I know what you mean, never mind some of the less than generous comments on here from some that still think wattle and daub is new technology.

I put wallpaper on one wall last weekend, i'am sitting here looking at it and it looks lovely.

Pity TC didn't get plastered... might have cheered her up a bit.

What about a show us your wallpaper thread.

Haven't watched paint dry, but we did sit on the floor and watch the first complete wash and spin cycle after we got our very first washing machine home....

Slightly OT, but I actually have a picture featuring rich p as my (desktop) wallpaper.










No. It's not that one.

After years of living in a turn of the century terraced house with all the associated crumbly plaster, I was delighted when we moved into our current house that the living room had bare painted plaster walls, but TBH we found it felt too cold and clinical, so we quickly papered it all and made it feel homely and cosy.

Wallpaper does last though. I wallpapered my 'best' room when I moved in here 27 years ago and it's still doing fine.
