...doors that led to the same room from the last owners so have removed one of the doors and blocked it up. We are now trying to match the wallpaper, as it was a favourite part of the house when we bought it (didn't have much going for it bless!) - after extensive googling cannot find the...

I want to fix a wallpaper border halfway up a wall. The walls are covered with new unpainted lining paper which will eventually be painted in matt emulsion. I can't decide if it's better to emulsion the wall and apply the border afterwards, or whether to fix the border onto the unpainted lining...

I'm wallpapering for the first time and it's not easy! None of the walls are flat or true in any direction - the joys of having a Victorian house... Anyway, I'm working around the chimney breast (from left to right) and probably should have planned it better. The problem I've got now is that...

The hallways had an old floral patterned vinyl wallpaper. It looked quite sound but was a really loud pattern. I wanted this stripped off and just painted. His Lordship has painted over the vinyl wallpaper. The actual pattern and colour has disappeared but there are all lumpy bits all over...
