Bee that as it may, I know you'll find some suitable wallpaper, you just have to bee patient.

What a bummer :( At least you've got your lovely queen bee print though!

We've had our fair share of items not fitting. When we moved to our current house we found that several items of furniture wouldn't fit up either of the staircases. One (antique) bookcase had to be carefully dismantled and rebuilt in situ by DH and our removers had to lift the Chesterfield type sofa up to the balcony where there's a door into the upstairs sitting room, only to find it wouldn't fit through that opening either.....DH had to saw the fixed back legs off to get it in! We also once drove 150 miles to collect a piece of granite (eBay purchase) that was about 2cm too wide to fit in our car. The courier we got to pick it up instead managed to break it en route.....grrrrr! Not to mention the time I singlehandedly tried to get a particularly heavy king sized bed frame from one end of a previous house to the other, a journey involving several staircases and narrow corridors. My goal was in sight when I accidentally let go and the damned thing slithered to the bottom of the last staircase, at which point I gave up and left it there till DH arrived home ;)

Aw, so sorry, but then, so happy you are excited about the replacement. I cannot wait to see it in place!

What replacement? Haven't decided on that yet, cyn. I have to put this project on the back burner now.

raphaella, you may be a candidate for being someone who has to wear a tape measure everywhere you go ;-)

For my son's birthday a few years back he picked out a beautiful bookcase from Costco. It came in a big box anni had to put it together. I was careful to set everything out in living room and assemble the beast. And then we went to move it to his room. It is too tall to fit under the door jamb. We tried every which way too even taking out windows. I ended up following the instructions backwards and rebuilding it in his room. He moved and my other son will have to learn to love that bookcase. Thankfully the new room for the son that moved it not big enough for the bookcase

Did you previously share a photo of said wallpaper? It would bee nice to see it.

Oh groan, kip.

1929, this is the wallpaper

Cute!

Drawer, shelf liners. Will always make you happy.

I love bees. I had them on my DR chairs. And in an attic guest room with odd ceiling lines, on all the walls and ceilings, I had this paper:

Oops, Tibb, read too fast-missed the word "print" in your post and was thinking it was new wallpaper. ADD in adults is not pretty! :-(

How big are the actual bees?

Can you frame it as art and hang it somewhere? Or use it as a bulletin board cover? Or somewhere?

I'm so sorry the paper didn't work out for you. I hope you can either sell it or find a different use for it.

I might have an interest in it if we can talk privately. I LOVE that paper.

To bee, or not to bee? That is the question :-)

So sorry Tib. That was perfect wallpaper. You have great vision I know you will find something else that is just as perfect. :)

Thanks for all the suggestions and ides for using at least some of it. Lol@ Cyn. I call those "senior moments" now!

Anne, I've responded to your message and have sent you my email address.

Linelle, they're big boys! Pretty since they're watercolors. I haven't unsealed the roll itself, so I can't really take a measurement. Anne above sent a message, so once I hear from her via email, I'll take more steps to get the scale for her. But I haven't unsealed the actual roll yet and have put it back in the shipping carton for safe keeping for now.

I am super excited but feel bad for tibbrix...I might have bee wallpaper in my near future. To the other poster about the sofa....A hundred years ago with my previous husband....we had some ugly, ugly living room furniture in our four story town house. He went to the store (cheap) and and got sets of everything......then we met and got married. I wanted to get rid of the furniture but he "loved" it...so we agreed it'd go to the family room in the "basement". I ordered the most beautiful brocade sofa and an embroidered chair. Guess what, ugly furniture would not fit down the stairs. I was all about taking a saw to the walls, to whatever, I cried over cancelling the order......I did finally, after a few years get that sofa and kept it thru a few homes and enjoyed it until I was totally over it and it still was in great shape. I donated it to a local eldercare place for the low income. They would not take the ex-husband :)

I think I just bought the paper from Tibbrix. Help me convince her to take a slice and cut out a couple bees to put on her bathroom walls!

The bees have found a home! Yay!

( and no, I am not going to cut it!. If you have an extra bee and honeycomb frame when you're finished and you want to send it to me, go ahead, but I'm going to send you the paper in whole).

Thank you, Anne. I hope you love it.

Buh-bye, bees! Buzz off to Anne's house, will ya?

;-D

(Good job, ladies!)

I love a happy ending. :)

I am lucky and what a great artist Sammie Clark is!

She might be on the thread later. I've contacted her to let her know of the hap-bee ending for her bees. She's in Hawaii, though, so I'm sure she's getting her bzzzzzzzzzzzz's!

LOL. I hope she is loving it. I don't even know for sure what I am doing with it. Thinking my tiny kitchen. I live in a big old pre civil war place but our kitchen is tiny and needs major update

It would make very cute kitchen wallpaper; a garden shed; bathroom....

And Tibbrix I am so sending you some random bees back. To anyone who doesn't already know, just from her sweet emails, she is a real sweetheart!

Lol. Some here are going, No way! Her?

Ditto for Anne...except that she's a Redskins fan, but I suppose we all have flaws.

Okay, I have got to get to work now!

NOOOOO! I am a Ravens fan. My DH is a Redskins fan and we get free suite tickets........who wouldn't go for free food and drinks?

too bad! but, nice that you were able to offer to someone else here so you can see pics of how it is used!

i don't think i would have necessarily thought to check the scale either if i was just buying one roll and didn't need to worry about the repeat... i would have thought that they were close to life size from the pic!

The Redskins need some love....as my deceased aunt would say...God Bless Them, they need it.

busybee3, you are right. The artist is amazing but the scale is much larger than I would have thought. When Tibbrex sent me the pic with a 10 dollar bill next to it I got why she couldn't do a linen closet with it. The artist is amazing though

I'm so glad for you both! Like so many of us here, I love that wallpaper!

You can always donate it...habitat for humanity, St.Vincent de Paul, etc.

I am so excited even though I don't know what I am going to do with it. We have no plans to move but I am already thinking...I don't want to leave it and it isn't here yet and I don't know where I am going to hang it!!!!

Pooh, I missed this bee paper so glad I saw the post. I love bees! I actually have a hive, supers, a bee keeping suit, hat, and smoker but afraid of the actual bee keeping process so we never put the hive out. I have some bee fabric that I bought a few years ago intending to have some throw pillows made using it. Obviously that didn't happen. The fabric is actually a luscious deep chocolate brown, the sheen of the fabric totally distorts the color.

Way cool about your being somewhat of a beekeeper, HK!

Anne, I think this paper would be great in a pantry, on one wall of some room (but you'd likely have to order more. The paper I bought is 2' x 8', so not a lot).

It'll come to you. It's really fun and pretty. I really love the colors.

Bummer about the bee-paper. ;-( If it was smaller, as most of us thought it was, it would have been adorable. But, happy it found a new home.

I am thrilled it found a new home, and it seems to have found a wonderful new home.

I am excited about it..and want to do something impactful( is that a word?) with that amount. A statement somewhere. I kinda want to use in my kitchen but worried about grease, food splash.

I will come up with something cool. Wish my bookcases were larger.

I hadn't seen the activity since Tibb discovered the bees were too large. Glad they found a new home and will look forward to seeing what Anne does with them.

Tibbrix you should post the photo with the bill next to it so everyone can see the scale. I must have deleted the email because I can't find it.

Here it is:

If you haven't sent it yet please take a foot for you. It will save me postage sending it back.

It's all good, Anne. I'm really all set. Please don't send any bees back. Use 'em up yourself.

Finally got it...not tibbrix's fault....some delay with the post office. I have had a flood issue so it it on the back burner but so gorgeous.

So cool everything worked out! Stinks that you couldn't use the bees Tib. Awesome that Anne could. I love this forum!

Amazing how it worked out, isn't it? Very grateful to Anne and glad it will be used. I hope it makes you smile, Anne, every time you look at it.
