The crib will go on this wall. Originally it was textured grey paint , as you see on either side . Here is the wall after I’ve skim-floated / skim-coated it, sanded smooth , and primed with a wallpaper primer called Roman Pro 977 Ultra Prime . I have them put a little blue tint in it, so I can see where I’ve rolled it on. This wallpaper comes in one continuous roll ordered by the yard , as you see on my table , as opposed to double roll bolts as most brands are packaged. This cute pattern is called Thatcher . It looks like a simple repetitive pattern , but it was actually fairly complicated . Not all those starburst motifs , and especially not the fan shaped lines around them, are the same. Looks hand painted with a paintbrush . The paper has a clay coated surface , which give it a beautiful matt finish. It’s lovely stuff to work with – seams melt away like butter , and trim lines are spot-on. (Many companies’ are not.) This brand’s papers come with an unprinted selvedge edge that has to be trimmed off by hand. You use a straightedge and single edge razor blade , and follow the manufacturer’s trim guide lines , to remove the selvedge. Today trimming this one bolt to do one wall took a full hour. The brand is Pepper Home . The home is in the Woodland Heights area of Houston . installer
