Wallpaper project

In our ongoing upgrade of our Washington row house, we did a little make-over on the pantry: painting the cabinets (which were an incredibly drab, exposed wood) and wallpapering the walls with a William Morris pattern. This little room, a bit over 100 square feet, as I recall, was a bear to wallpaper, with its skinny strips and numerous moulding and angled-wall cuts. Maybe 15-20 hours of work! And $350 for the wallpaper and supplies. Had we painted it: 2 hours max, and a little over a quart of paint. Ah, but what a difference!

Here are a couple of pics.
