    Feature Wall papering

    WabbitPoo - yes, hadn't even thought of that and it would be the best solution. Unfortunately (1) with the walls being a bit wonky I'd worry I didn't get lining edges perfect and they might show through, and (2) don't have enough paper and no time to buy more (panic setting in as visitors arrive...
