The house, by my best guess, is about 14,000 sq. ft. in size. We almost needed a GPS to find our way around. There were four areas and four different styles and designs of wallpaper to be hung. The difficulty ranged from very difficult to very easy, and we did manage to hang all 22 rolls in less than 8 hours. The above was the feature wall in the dining room, off the main grand entry. Very elegant and very difficult to work with. In the photo, you can see that I have just passed the thermostat, cutting out the paper and tucking the flaps in behind it. Moments later, the owner came and told us that it (the thermostat) was being moved. Not too bright to move it after the fact. When I go back to repair the gap in the middle of the wall, the splices will show just enough to make them want to hang a mirror or some art over that area.
This was an Anaglypta type of wall covering in the main bathroom (one of 12 in the house) that is designed to be painted over. Someone else was going to that .... an antiqued bronze finish.
The little girl's room got a pretty pink feature wall. We had much difficulty determining which was right side up with this pattern. I think we got it right.
The fourth area was a large wall in the master suite but it was so plain and white it was not photo worthy.
It was all a pleasant diversion from eating turkey.

Extravagant luxury! In five years, they will want a change.
Excessive waste! At least it keeps you employed :)
That paper proves the cycles of style. Something like the boots I wore in the 70s that I should have kept.
