Our bathroom was a disaster! Painted wallpaper over wallpaper over lath and plaster. No way to fix without tearing our and dry walling! This wallpaper worked magic. We're planning on remodeling in a few years and this "patch" will work beautifully until then. Very elegant (My mom wants to use this in her dinning room). Hightly recommend.

I just wanted some white texture, so I ordered two rolls of this wallpaper to do a small room. It was difficult to trim at the top and at the baseboard--those raised leaves do NOT like a razor blade cutter. There was a lot of tearing. After I finished with the first roll and started with the second, I had two problems: 1. the edge of the pattern in the second roll did not match up exactly with the edge of my last piece of paper from the first roll (it wasn't hard to find where the pattern SHOULD match, but it was like there was a tiny bit missing. I measured the second roll and noticed that it was 1/16 of an inch narrower than the 1st, so when I matched those two pieces I was missing just a tiny bit in the center of those leaves/vines); 2. the second roll was a different shade of white. After it dried, it was really noticeable (a guest walked in and said "Did you use two different kinds of wallpaper?"). I ended up having to paint it all.

Due to the difficulty when trimming the top/bottom of each panel, plus the headache of trying to figure out why the second roll wouldn't match up, as well as the fact that I had to paint when I wasn't planning to, this project took a lot longer than expected. On the bright side, it looks great painted (and I don't even notice that unmatched seam).

Product is easy to work with and looks great when painted. It gives a smooth finish to old uneven walls.

this wallpaper is absolutely beautiful, I wasn't sure looking at it online but it is everything I wanted in a paintable paper.

This paper does not appear so thick at first glance, so I put a segment up over a particularly rough spot of wall to see if it would do the trick. It was perfect! You'll love this design!

Six months ago I decided to update the bathroom and proceeded to rip the old wallpaper off. I bought some spray to help remove the stubborn parts still on the wall. The stuff was amazing - it didn't run at all and dissolved the paste easily. I then painted the walls. This is an endeavor in hopelessness! The paint also dissolved old paste that remained on the wall. I used nearly a gallon of paint in a tiny room and two days later was able to just scrape off large sections with a putty knife. It totally destroyed the surface of the walls.

Eventually, I used a pre-papering sealant (something more specific for the job than Bin) and repainted the room as a prep for this wall paper. Finding the pattern on heavy white textured paper is very difficult. Water alone did not seem sufficient to stick the paper securely. I only put up one roll alone. With two of us and real wallpaper paste things went much better. I may paint this but am a little concerned about the possibility of paste on the surface.

All of that said, it is very pretty paper and it was a very good option for walls that were in rough shape.
