Thank you so much, it was a great tutorial! I especially liked that you picked a non flat wall with angles, electrical outlets, window and the decorative wood area. . You showed how to position the wallpaper and cut around everything and the wall area that you needed to start at the bottom instead of the top plus all the other tips. This was definitely a helpful video because of the problem/difficult areas that many of us could face and not know what to do. Looking forward to viewing your other videos.

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@karilewis6735]

What are good peel and stick brands????

[@lisablinn3264]

Wallpaper today is so versatile. It's great we can personalize even a rental space without losing a damage deposit.

[@teeser2436]

Your so brave to film this as you go. There would be so many bleeps if I did this in real time 😆 Great job!!!❤️

[@GraceInMySpace]

Hahaha! 😁

[@melkon1an]

Lol brave.

[@robertcollinsworth9113]

My wife asks why I do these home projects if all I do is curse the whole time. I told her that it's how I relax.

[@destinywiskey7533]

Ahaha me too! I've been renovating my whole house/property for about a year now and my neighbors are scared of me bc they just hear "random" yelling and cussing 😂

[@elliemartincliffe417]

First-time wallpaperer here! This tutorial was by far the most helpful of all the videos I watched. The tip to start from the bottom if you’re in a tricky spot saved my sanity! Thank you!

[@GraceInMySpace]

Great to hear!

[@aimeew6880]

Same!!

[@douglasneff3076]

I have to say after perusing a number of videos about vinyl wallpaper, yours was the only one of value. Showed the process and tricky applications, and reminded me that I’ll always underestimate the amount of paper needed. Well done. Subscribing

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’m so glad it was helpful!

[@user-oh5dv3tw1y]

My husband and I had the best little morning date watching this video before we dive into a project. Thanks for all the tips and laughs! What a tricky space to wallpaper and you pulled it off seamlessly!

[@GraceInMySpace]

That is awesome! Glad it could help!

[@lonstarhoustx]

Well done ! I'm a professional paper hanger in Houston Tx for more than 30 years and let me tell you ? peel and stick it is a very nice material to work with.some of them have stronger adhesive than others.you did a very good job.i liked the way you finished the top of the window ! very good job !

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thanks so much!

[@shoppingonchampagne]

SO HELPFUL! I've never hung peel & stick wallpaper before, let alone on the wonky walls of a 100+ year old home. The starting line with the level was gamechanging. Thanks for making it so easy to get this job done 🥰

[@GraceInMySpace]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hollyashton7009]

Thank you so much, you made it very easy to follow & understand!! It also looks SO much brighter already from the before pic! We have a loft/attic space that looks very much like that. The walls have tiny little bumps all over them (not sure what that is called) so it’s not a candidate for wallpaper but I’m thinking of putting up maybe beadboard or something over it. We had to renovate our bathroom and I really don’t want the mess of removing & installing new drywall up there. It serves as a guest bedroom.

[@GraceInMySpace]

Oh yes beadboard would be a great option!

[@Caroline-ix6hz]

I am trying this for the first time in my teeny tiny powder room this weekend. This video was helpful. Thank you.

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’m glad it was helpful!

[@jenamyallen]

I was arrogant and started 3 simultaneous rooms as I needed to order extra as I misjudged the amount I needed. I really REALLY. needed to watch this beforehand. You tackled every one of my issues. Thank you! Your work and tutorials are fantastic!!!! Love from michigan!!❤❤❤

I'm about to use peel-and-stick wallpaper for the first time and these tips are so helpful! Your room turned out great. I just love the visual impact of wallpaper.

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’m glad it was helpful! Wallpaper makes a great statement. Good luck with the project!

[@Mary-ox6jv]

You make it look so easy!!😭😭

[@GraceInMySpace]

Lots of practice!

[@joyandson1]

Great job! It is looking great! I really appreciate that you share it all when you do these kind of jobs. Wallpapering has always intimidated me. I might give it a go!

[@GraceInMySpace]

You can do it!

[@margotgn]

I’ve hung plenty of traditional wallpaper but never the peel and stick. This was a great tutorial. I typically use a 4-6” broad metal putty knife to trim with - it’s thinner and easier for me to trim around. I do use a plastic smoother though. The other thing I do to keep things looking right is on the right hand side of the windows I draw an additional vertical level line since there is such a small amount at the bottom to use as a guide for the whole piece - yours turned out beautiful though!

[@GraceInMySpace]

Those are great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@delinayoungs3988]

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you so much!

[@TheFuzzypuddle]

I'm freaking out because I am about to do this for the first time today. Thank you for providing so many useful tips. I would have never considered marking a level line to start with. I would have aligned the first sheet with what I'm sure is an uneven wall and messed up the entire application. Overlapping the sheets and starting with extra on the ceiling are also great tips that I would not have considered. Thank you again for putting this video out into the world. I'm sure it has helped may people.

[@GraceInMySpace]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Hope your project went well.

[@jenamyallen]

Yup. I messed up. Good on you and good luck!!!

[@dstone8354]

Excellent video, thanks kiddo

[@guitar1950]

Well done. Other videos don't instruct to use a level or a chalk line to set the starting line. One suggestion: verify the starting wall level too. If it's off more than a quarter of an inch it might be best to measure from the point that would be farthest and use that as the start line mark so as to overlap the difference. Also, those outlets are actually called light switches. Lol!

[@ericicenhour166]

Great job and very helpful! I plan to install some peel and stick soon and your video helped me a lot to plan. I'm sorry to be nitpicky but the vertical lines drawn on the wall are actually plumb lines and not "level" lines as referred to several times.

[@GraceInMySpace]

You’re so right! I searched for the word I wanted for a few minutes and when it didn’t come to me I went with it. Glad the video was helpful!

[@Susie-C-J]

LOVE The options of Paper!! I wish I knew where I could physically visit & make a more informed decision. I’d love to visit the store to compare with others’ they may have at the physical store OR could work better in the space. We shall see. I’m dying to get at least oNe area completed (decorated) a bedroom, bathroom, office, anything. Or even if least where it technically “could be” It’s so rewarding once it’s all said & done…I’m trying to keep my eyes on the prize & budget. 🎉

[@GraceInMySpace]

There are lots of wallpaper stores! I’d just Google to see what’s close to you. ☺️

Very nice. :)

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you! 😊

[@IDrawToothpicks]

I have sensitive eyes so this wallpaper wouldn't work for me but it looks gorgeous nonetheless and you did a great job showing how to do it yourself. Another video said you NEED 2 people. Not everyone will have that

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you so much! I actually prefer to do it alone. I find with two people someone is pulling opposite the other and it causes wrinkles or warping in the paper.

[@jessicadoland8433]

You did great! When the roll came in did it have a # on it? I used to work in a home decore store and you wanted those codes to match or they may not match on the wall. Hopefully yours is fine. If you can find the #, I would ask for a roll from that batch if possible.

[@michellesperl]

You did awesome! You are a great teacher. Thank you! I installed peel and stick wallpaper 😢 i had the first piece up and smoothed out looking so good and stepped away for about 15 minutes. I came back it was falling off😭 idk what i did wrong🤦‍♀️ its a thicker nice quality paper. Do you think i could put wallpaper paste on it?

[@GraceInMySpace]

My guess is the wall needed prepping. Perhaps it needed to be cleaned? Or, was it over glossy paint? Or you might have a bad batch of paper. Try another roll and see how it sticks.

[@sunkissedblissphotography4844]

This is fantastic thank you so much. Can you please explain how you cut little pieces to fit in around the window instead of deceasing a full strip and cutting around the window? I don’t quite understand. I was wallpapering for the first time and as I went around the window, all of a sudden on the other side of the window, it didn’t match up anymore. I was using a full panel over the window and then cutting that part off and then using the panel underneath the window if that makes any sense?

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’m not quite following your question, I’m sorry! Traditionally if you have to go around an obstacle you use the full panel and cut out where needed. I only added pieces to this section because it was too small to work with a full piece easily.

[@SandyBoone]

Looks great! And great job too! Thanks for the tutorial and showing how to match up the paper. It might be a nice addition to explain how to calculate how much paper to buy with the wall match/drop match?

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you so much! Most manufacturers have suggested purchasing guides online! I just didn’t follow it 😆

[@user-ed1te4bd3d]

You make it look so easy! Did you wash your walls with water/alcohol before applying?

[@GraceInMySpace]

I never have!

[@janithmathews4195]

Thanks for the great diy - looks good. We have dark paneling in our living room. Will the peel and stick work on paneling?

[@GraceInMySpace]

It may stick, but you will likely see the seams of the paneling.

[@hotLeah81]

Hi. Great tutorial. 👍🏾 Question, did you need to prep the wall for your peel and stick application? Such as sanding or applying a wallpaper primer?

[@GraceInMySpace]

If your walls have paint in good clean condition, then you don’t have to do anything! Great question. If they are fresh drywall then you’ll want to prime first. If the paint is peeling, I’d patch it, and if the walls are dirty then a quick cleaning would do well! Otherwise walls in good condition don’t need sanding or primer. 😁

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

Excellent, thanks for posting. I going to give it a go tomorrow but something tells me I'm going to make a sham of it.

[@GraceInMySpace]

How did the project go?

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

@@GraceInMySpace My parents and GF are still laughing. The wallpaper was a marble pattern. So some of it didn't match up. My mother said you wouldn't notice it unless you looked hard. I think she was trying to spare my feelings lol. I'm happy with it, it went up grand and it looks nice in the bathroom. Thanks for asking..

[@kristinmagness2223]

Can you put wallpaper on paneling? I want to do an accent wall in my kitchen but we have paneling. Love your video!

[@GraceInMySpace]

You can try, however it might not grip well unless you prep the panel and it will show any grooves in it.

[@snipsnip05]

Thanks so much for posting! I am attempting my first peel and stick for my entry way. How do you ensure you keep each piece level/straight as you go? I chose a solid grasscloth so I won't have a pattern to line up particularly. Thanks!!

[@GraceInMySpace]

You’ll do great! It’s all about making sure that first piece is straight. As long as it is and you are lining each piece up nicely against the one before it, you’ll be golden!

[@catherinehartley5315]

This is the most helpful video. And u used the same wallpaper I bought! How much did u say to overlap the pieces?

[@GraceInMySpace]

Just about 1/8 inch

[@kellybarfoot8124]

Looks gorgeous! Wallpaper has become ridiculously expensive lately, so it pays to know what you are doing. How long did you wait after you painted the trim? Did it mark it at all?

[@GraceInMySpace]

I waited 24 hours. I didn’t have any issues! Now if you’re painting a full wall, you shouldn’t install peel and stick over freshly painted walls until they have cured.

[@jshepherd37066]

My first wallpaper application video and you nailed it! I’ve only one question! I’m wallpapering the wall at my bathroom vanity. There’s a tall skinny cabinet that stands on the counter and goes 18” short of the ceiling. Do I wallpaper above that first and then go left or right of it? Or start left and work my way right?

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’d start where you have the ability to see a plumb line. So maybe start to the right of it on the full wall and then fill in above the cabinet to the left.

[@Pobsta-de7hb]

They are good but I am not convinced better than paste, with paste you can move it if you have placed wrong by sliding it left right up and down, believe me if you have made a small mistake this can be invaluable, you can also butter lines up real tight doing this. Still a neat idea if you have perfect walls and do not make a mistake I can see it being really good

[@Mcfads999]

That was great :) What wallpaper did you use please, as its lovely xx
