Wallpaper Tips
I am not a professional contractor of any kind. All the information I provide was learned through trial and error, reading advice on other web sites and of course reading instruction manuals.

I am not a bid wallpaper fan. So I do not have any advice on putting up wallpaper. I do like wallpaper border though! Here is some advice:

Again no real tip on installation except it's much easier with the assistance of another person. My major advice is shop online. My wife and I went to Home Depot looking for some borders for our sons room. We found a border we liked and it cost $26 a roll. That seemed a bit steep so I decided to surf the web. I found the same border at American Blinds, Wallpaper & More for only $15.00 per roll and free shipping. (I think Home Depot bought National Blinds and Wallpaper so the prices may be higher now but there are many other comparable sites out there).

What you can do to make the process easier is go to your local home improvement store and browse their catalogs of wallpaper. This way you can see the wallpaper up close. In our case, we looked in all the wallpaper border books and then wrote down the name of the book and page number. Most of the web sites I used had the same books available for browsing online. Very easy and a potential monsy saver.

Update 5/8/2003!

Just bought some wallpaper borders on Ebay. Best price I could find for monster truck borders $9.99 a roll and only $8.50 to ship. The order arrived 3 days after the purchase. Be careful, Ebay is not always a good deal, check the shipping rates first. Also search the web for the item. I have seen items up for auction that fetch a price over what you would pay at an actual online store.

I plan to list some helpful sites in the near future. So please check back for updates.
