Sticking wallpaper of course, we made a lot of mistakes

It is time to update the appearance of the room, because it was downright scary to invite guests. Most looked messy wall. At a family council it was decided pokleit new wallpaper, whitewash the ceiling and do not bother others.

Knowledgeable people are advised to whitewash the ceiling emulsion. Hike the market turned a problem - it is not clear how much to take. Seller, adding floor area (24 square meters), issued bank emulsion volume of 0.8 liters. Saying that it is just enough. Butt enough, we generously smeared. At a cost of whiting different companies are about the same, and quality do not differ much. Very convenient appeared foam roller - dipped, laminated and ready. From accidental drops defended building glasses, transparent and fairly comfortable, anti-fog.

While ceiling cox, we went to a big hardware store to select the wallpaper. Eyes literally run away - a variety of models, textures, hit properties. At work, we advised to buy a wide, meter wallpaper -. Glue them faster, but since we do not repair professionals, it was decided to select a narrow, 50 cm, their glue seemed easier. Washable wallpaper we did not need, the main criterion was smooth - relief did not want anyone, and light to expand the room visually. We chose German wallpaper with large flowers, purchased glue.

On the instructions attached to the roll, it was told not to smear the wall with glue, as well as it should soak the wallpaper and glue "dry running". So they did. Adheres well, just out of the corner dry up immediately, I had to lubricate the glue. Very handy tool proved to be a plastic spatula - them and smooth the wallpaper can be, and additional glue applied, and the edge of the wallpaper baseboard plug.

Of course, we made a lot of mistakes:

· Inaccurately vymeryat strip length. Forget about the golden rule - better longer than shorter.

· It was necessary to combine the pattern edge. The colors of the room turned out - where there is a mad house.

· Docked is not very smooth. Sometimes blame dowels were sticking out of the wall and the wall outlet. Holes in the wallpaper under them we have done, but a little out there, and as a result of the bevel the entire band.

· Somewhere was not enough glue. Bubbles, bubbles ...

Better luck next time. Let everything was imperfect, but made their own hands and to love.
