Hi Rhoda - thanks for coming by to take a look. I referred to your blog as I did this project and it was incredibly helpful. Keep up the good work! Hockeymom I'll take a picture of the edges and post it. You can kind of get an idea by looking at the picture above with the clamps. I glued the moulding on flush with the edge of the door. On one of the doors I think the moulding went a little over the edge because it rubbed a little against the door next to it when we rehung them. So my son sanded both edges a bit and I had to repaint, but it was fine. I did fill in the seam between the moulding and the original door. I used spackle pretty liberally, let it dry overnight, then sanded the next morning with an electric sander to get it smooth. I think Rhoda used caulk. Any place I missed got filled in pretty well with paint. It was a little easier to have the wallpaper go almost all the way to the edge of the door (that happened on the hall cabinet doors, but the laundry room doors were too wide for a single sheet to go entirely edge to edge). valinsv - I was a little nervous about using the mitre saw, but my son (he's 19) stepped right up and started cutting angles with no problem. I had him do a couple of trial cuts first just to be sure that the 45 degrees was exact (it was). The guy we bought the saw from showed me how to use it. Next project for my son's summer break from college: baseboards! Lynn I might have to go to Albuquerque in the next couple of weeks. I've seen the pictures you've posted of your beautiful house - I'd love to help, but you're so talented I'm sure you'll have no problem with this kind of project.

kswl - your O&L paper sounds wonderful! there is a really lovely metallic acorn paper in one of the books now. Sigh... I love so many of them. I used a different O&L paper with hummingbirds in my master BR. trailrunner - I would love share more photos, but I will eek them out as I have rooms more ready to show or get feedback on! Would love to see photos of your home as well! debrak - so thrilled that you noticed the way we designed the rail. That was added. I fell in love with a pedestal sink that was too tall for the existing chair rail, but I wanted to keep the rest of the chair rail at the existing height. So my carpenter and I figured this out. Here is a "before" photo. Quite a difference!

"unpasted, washable, strippable vinyl wall paper" means that it is vinyl wallpaper without paste applied on the back by the manufacturer. So you will need to apply the paste yourself, instead of the somewhat easier application process of submerging in water to activate the pre-applied paste.

I just finished a remodel and wallpapered behind my bed as well as in my bathrooms. I am absolutely delighted with the end result. I am not worried about wallpaper removal as I have no plans to remove it nor do I have plans to sell. All of my choices were driven by my personal aesthetics as well as my personal functionality - I am not worried about a mythical buyer in the foggy future. As to removal, I didn't put up the wallpaper nor would I be taking it down LOL. If for whatever reason I wanted to get rid of it, it would be done by someone I hired. FWIW, I remember my parents removing wallpaper as a child and it didn't seem that difficult. They used some kind of steamer so it was tedious but not highly skilled.
