I hope you can help us with our wallpaper question. We are planning to wallpaper our summer cottage in the next couple of weeks. However, the cottage is not heated and we are afraid that wallpapering in the cold weather (about 40 degrees) will affect the paper. Is wallpaper subjected to the same properties such as wood - shrinkage and expansion? When the summer rolls around will we see bubbles or bulging?

Please advise if you can.

wallpapering ceilings

on Jan 29, 2001

I would like to wall paper my ceiling with paintable textured vinyl wallcovering. Do you have any hints on doing ceilings? Where should I start the first one? Should I cut them in 8 foot lengths or smaller?
