Up Date on Paint striping and wallpapering pics

[oasis]

Remember i sent in a few pics of the paint striping i was doing well here are the finished photos!

I also took on the wallpapering,something again i lack experience so i told the customer i would like to do it for the experience and only charged then half price, quite happy with it now and have gained loads more experience in the papering side of decoration ; 8)

all i seem to do is experience jobs these days!

looks good mate

 

[oasis]

yea was OK MESSY job! and you do need to leave it a long time.and try and get it in 1 or 2 attempts other wise it gets hard as the stripper just falls off the soggy paint.

looks nice mate and the wall papering looks plumb

lol, vertical stripes in an old house! i've had to explain that the walls aren't plumb, not the paper before now!

cutting the paper in between the Little scrolls was very hard! still haven't done window revels yet re they hard to do?

nice job mate...

last time i wallpapered a room was years ago but for the odd feature wall...

if i remember right i used to fold the top down under the head and cut up the external angle of the side reveal...
try and match a peice in for the reveal face off the external corner..
pain in the preverbial.. never get it to match back in when you come past the window...
tiles yeh, wallpaper :-[
cant do it any other way unless you cut at 45 degrees to the corner of the external head/reveal angle and try and match those 2 little cuts back in the corner
dunno what the pro's do... that second one is probably it cos you dont have a cut on the external angle?
maybe thats why half the reskims i do have bleedin gloss painted reveals ;D
and the only wallpapering i do is just flat walls
