It took a long time to get the wall smoothed, but when it was finally time to hang the paper, I was ready! – It’s such a beautiful, unusual, daring, and fun pattern. What’s more – it combines a shimmery silver background with 3-dimensional flocking. That’s the coal-balck velvet-like fuzzy material that sticks up about 1/16″ from the surface, creating a dramatically gutsy effect.

This wallpaper is a non-woven material and I hung it using the paste-the-wall method.
The pattern is called “Tail Feather.” It is by ASW – A Shade Wilder, and was bought through Wayfair.com
