Hanging Vintage Wallpaper
This must be a careful process as the paper is so old that it's brittle. I use either celouse or wheat paste. Cutting at the ceiling and floor can be challanging as it will rip easily, but the charm of the "look" is definitly worth it
Matching Vintage Wallpaper
This wallpaper must also be trimmed. I test to see the best place to trim it as the "trim and join" lines may be off a little.
Trimming Vintage Wallpaper
This is slow and exacting work. I want the seams to be as invisible as possible. The paper is very curly with memory of being in a roll for so many years
Vintage Wallpaper has it's own look
They just don't make it like that anymore. Proper wallpaper hanging methods give you a one of a kind look.
