Is it proper to use a wallpaper border around the ceiling edge AND as a chair rail?

admin — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:43:49 +0000

A friend of mine put up a 6 inch border around the top of her room and then used the same border as a chair rail effect. When you walk in the room all you notice is her rooster border. In my opinion I feel it should be on one or the other, not both. It totally took away from the whole look of the room. This answer is going to be used to settle a debate. This is a dinning room w/ a country theme of roosters.

If you want her to stay your friend, just back off trying to convince her how right you are. She likes it how she likes it (or at least that’s her story, and she’s sticking to it!). Sometimes you have to accept things or risk losing the friendship.

How would you go about peeling off a wallpaper border?

Apparently, this border has some kind of hard core adhesive on it. Peeling it off just rips it and leaves parts of it still remaining. Help?

You need to go and buy some wallpaper remover, it works very well. You can get it at Walmart, Lowes, or probably any hardware store. Good luck.

RRRREEEEEEEAADDD MMMEEE
Alright so for the contest I have chosen to do 3 different stages.
The first stage will be the best clip on mw2 or cod4. For the best clips I mean like crazy shot, beast killfeeds, or anything. The clips must be uploaded to filefront OR as a video response to THIS video. The due date is June 21st which is plenty of time in my opinion, for a sick clip. If you have a problem, send me a Private Message over YT. Tell your friends about this!
Second stage-
The second stage will be the editing stage. So after I have chosen the best clip, all the editors who want to enter will have to edit that clip. When I choose the clip, the due date for editing will be announced.
Third Stage-(maybe)
For all the GFX people out there who want to enter. This stage will be after the editing stage. You will have to create a border saying the persons name for that clip.
Prizes-
You can choose 4 of any of these options.
Youtube Background.
Youtube Logo.

How do you remove difficult wallpaper border?

admin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:34:56 +0000

I’ve scored the walls, used DIF gel, & a steamer and it just doesn’t seem to help. Does anyone know what else I could use?

I’ve used fabric softener in water in a spray bottle. A friend of mine swears by 7′up. Spray it on and let it soak then scrap.

Why is the prepasted wallpaper border not sticking?

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 10:34:33 +0000

We bought this border to go in our nursery. We followed the "less then helpful" instructions perfectly, but it still won’t stay. We are applying it to a slightly rough textured wall with satin paint finish. I read ALOT of other comments from people who were applying it similar walls and very few people had problems. Any suggestions on what could have gone wrong?? We don’t want to waste another $20 on a border just to have that one not stick either….

you can put glue on it to help

What is a good height for a wallpaper border or shelf around a room.?

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 11:38:52 +0000

I am preparing my son’s bedroom and I want to mount a narrow shelf all the way around the room. He has a chest of drawers that is 54-inches high, so I need the shelf to be above that height. I am planning on painting the walls blue above the shelf and brown below. I am looking for an idea on how high the shelf should be.
I have done a little research and the type shelf I am talking about is often referred to as a "mantel ledge". My intention is for it to be about three inches deep.

How tall is the tallest person in your house? You don’t want the shelf to be a headknocker. If the tallest person is 6′ tall, I’d go 6′-6", or 78". That’s low enough to see the shelf and its contents, but high enough to avoid headaches. Hope this helps.

What is the difference between pre-pasted wallpaper border and not pre-pasted?

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 11:29:30 +0000

The one I bought doesn’t say if its pre-pasted or not pre-pasted. But I remember seeing some that says pre-pasted. Just wondering what is the difference.

Pre pasted paper comes from the factory already pasted. Just wet the back and its ready to go. The other you have to apply wallpaper paste to the backing. I prefer the type that uses paste. Looks better wont peel as easy as prepasted. Since you doing a border, pasting the back should not be a problem or a big mess.

How do i successfully remove wallpaper border without taking the paint off the wall?

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 11:05:51 +0000

I am moving out of an apartment and really need to get this stuff off. I don’t wanna strip the paint off though. Any ideas?

Liquid fabric softener mixed with water in a spray bottle.

http://www.ehow.com/how_2279480_remove-wallpaper-fabric-softener.html?ref=fuel&utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ssp&utm_campaign=yssp_art

If you’re lucky it will just peel off. The water and fabric softener gets rid of the remainder of the glue on the wall. I used just plain warm water on a sponge and soaked mine off. It really depends on the paper, the adhesive and how long it’s been hanging. Good Luck!

Wallpaper border in the bathroom?

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 14:23:53 +0000

I am painting and bordering my bathroom. The shower has 2 feet wall going around the top that I am aptingin as well. I want to know if the border can go all the way around as well. Will the humudity of the shower harm the border?

My first attempt to do the task you are asking about, resulted in utter failure, which bummed me totally as there was much effort put into the project. However,I found a solution, and that is to run a bead of kitchen/bath silicon along the top and bottom of the backside of the borer. Thin beads of silicone, damp sponge to apply border smoothly. Good luck.
