Keeping a close eye on me 🤣🤣

I was taught to hang wallpaper by a man who was an engineer so pretty precise in his calculations, he taught me to start in the middle of the wall but first use a level to ensure a straight line as not all walls are square and if you start from a corner there is a strong chance your wallpaper will be out of square, once you have a straight line from ceiling to skirting then offer up the wallpaper to the line and then put the strip up then cut the ends, then just add either side and cut to shape. Just a little tip but yours looks great.

Your kitties are so distracting in the best possible way! 😂😂 It’s impossible to be in a bad mood with their little antics-even when they’re naughty. I recently rescued a little dog and she has brought me so much joy! Can’t wait to see the rest of your bedroom make over!

Hi Catherine! Great idea to turn that space into a work space with a desk! The wallpaper is just lovely! Can't wait to see what you find for a desk and the end results :)

I love those curtains especially that they’re ready pleated and love the loops on the back so that its nice and neat above the pole.

I’ve been toying with wallpapering my under stairs cupboard, just to make it prettier, even though I’m the only one who sees it! Your video has made me go for it! Thanks xxx

Your nook is going to be gorgeous. I don't think I have your vision but even I can see it and it's beautiful. Yes, hold out for a nice wooden desk. And give the kitties a paper bag. That's entertainment! Lol

I am just finally getting around to ordering my first wall paper. Mom and I hung easily 30 rooms worth of wallpaper during my childhood. As an adult I have stuck with paint until now.

As if you weren't entertaining enough you add two cats into the mix and I am completely hooked. Good job on the wallpaper. I used to help my mum paste the wallpaper for her. You brought back some happy memories..

Aww that’s super sweet 🥹 sounds like a lovely memory for you

Your kitty made me laugh so hard playing in that bag, cats are so funny. I really like your wall paper, the idea of a nice desk is a good idea and like you say you will get more use out of your space that way. Take care, keep us posted on the hunt.

If it's allowed in your country, I wish you would take us with you when you go thrifting! I love to thrift and have been doing it since I was a teenager, so for 45 years now. Another channel I follow, the couple traveled to England and France last few years and my favorite part was them filming while thrifting through the charity shops and antique stores. Like others here have said already, cannot wait to see what you pick out for a desk. Although, I truly loved the settee or loveseat that you had in the nook area. It was beautiful! Great weekend to anyone reading this today-

I just want to strip my spare room and paper it now 😂, the wallpaper is beautiful ❤

Great job, brass is timeless, 😊. Looking forward to seeing end result. Trick, if bubble remains in wallpaper & you can’t get rid, get a sewing needle and prick it, it will flatten, rub over & voila flat surface

Love the wallpaper. And can I just say how much I appreciate your realistic diys, rather than overedited versions many creators make. Can't wait for you to go hunting for that desk and to make over the little nook under the eves. 🫶 the shenanigans from the naughty duo are delight to watch. I was thinking, they might like one of those window bird feeders, once your new desk is in place 🫶

I love wallpaper, I just never want to remove it again in my lifetime! 🤪

A desk in that nook is a wonderful idea but for me I would be looking out that window lol

Lover of wall paper.

About cats;... last year i got me a young cat, 4 months old, oh my, she was very energetic !!! jumping on erverything !!! he got his nails in all my curtains several times, and on the wallpaper, jumped on my (very high)closets and broke several decoration things.... I had cats before but never had one like him ....didn´t know they could be so differend....

Fabulous paper. I too prefer paste the wall. So much easier. It looks grande Catherine. Puss cats looking really well.

I have to say that wall pasted paper is the way to go. Peel and stick is Satan's Sticker, if you ask me. It stretches and sticks to itself...and getting the air bubbles out is a nightmare. 😂

I love nook areas as they are so cozy! It's going to be beautiful.

Catherine, I also never close my curtains, i love waking up to the dawn and the birds morning chorus. And i love floral wallpaper. Back in the 80's myself and my ex husband built our own house and i had stripped wallpaper and floral with a border in the middle and i loved it. I missed the house more than the husband. Lol. You little supervision team have made sure of a splendid job its going to look so pretty. Pre-ordered your new book by the way. Xxxx

I love the wall paper and it seems to go up pretty easy. I love little nooks. They are so cozy. A desk would be perfect there. The kittens are so adorable . Can’t wait to see what you come up with for the nook. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

Your stores supply more lovely products than our in Australia I am jealous 😊

When I hang wallpaper I always have an even and odd drop roll (so using 2 rolls simultaneously for alternative drops). I find it will typically limit the wastage between the pattern repeats.

I love all of your projects, I think the desk is going to be fantastic in that nook!

I enjoyed that video, thanks. And just to say that, like you, I prefer to sleep with my curtains open, so I can wake with natural light.

Because you're doing a different wall it wouldn't matter if you couldn't get the same batch number. Light hits the walls at different angles so they would look slightly different anyway

😂 "Don't worry he can breathe" This was such an enjoyable episode Catherine. Now I'm on the hunt for those exact same curtains. We are retired now and in the midst of repainting all the rooms. I've been using a hand held steamer on the old wall paper and a putty knife and it's coming off easy without a big wet mess.

Great wallpaper tutorial. I have used the type of paper where the strip is soaked in water before hanging dripping on the wall. It is a little tricky as you must try not to stretch or tear the paper while smoothing. I am excited to see the type you used where all you need do is paste the walls! Looks to be much more enjoyable. Thanks for the cat's antics, always fun to see. Laurie

Thank you for your inspiration! I "brick" painted my patio last summer and I'm just about to wallpaper behind my bookshelves! 😊 I love all your wallpaper, especially above the fireplace!

Good morning 😊 ❤

I find if you open more than one roll the match may well be in the second one, and if you have a large pattern, you waste less! I had 3-4 on the go when I did my hall stairs and landing.

Cats really are your fur babies. Great video 💐

I used to work in a paint and wallpaper shop, and ALL of the wallpapers were "prepasted". You would cut the length needed, and then put the strip into a wallpaper water tray, wetting the strip, and apply to the wall, smoothing out as needed. It was so easy and fast, and super easy to strip off if wanted. Does prepasted wallpaper not exist where you live? BTW, it looks awesome! ❤Pamela

Hi Catherine. You have two very adorable supervisors there LOL! I love your wallpaper. It is exquisite and sets the room off perfectly. I live in Oregon and I have not seen anyone do wallpaper since the early 1990s. The Irish and British do it more than we do here. I would love to try it out if I could find any around my area. We used to have big wallpaper areas in stores back in the day you could buy anything wallpaper. 😍

The wallpaper is beautiful and supervisor kittens are such a great help! They made me laugh out loud. Thanks for sharing their antics😂

Happy Thrifting Dear!

When my husband and I bought our house 35+ years ago, we spent the better part of a year removing all the 1970s wall paper (olive, orange and gold plaid, orange and pink bubble flowers, rust-brown burlap, and silver foil paper). Not a wall was spared and some rooms had more than one layer. Even the hallway and family room ceilings were papered. The paper was applied to bare wallboard making removal a nightmare. We swore we'd never ever wallpaper a room. Now, so many years later, we're renovating. The powder room was the first bathroom completed, and.....I've picked out the perfect wallpaper. So much for "never"!

Greetings from Michigan! I adore your wallpaper tastes! I love wallpaper. grew up with it and had it in my homes 1985-2010 then it became uncool. I don't understand why anyone would do that trendy peel and stick stuff! 😆 Laura Ashley is my FAVORITE DESIGNER! I still have mother/daughter dresses and my girl is now 34!! LOL Adore those little kittens of yours Catherine they are just precious! Cheeky thumbs up! P.S. I have the Hemnes desk from Ikea - it is a BEAST only down fall is my cat likes to use the corner as his scratching post - but I love the desk!

I have a little black cat who also enjoys plastic bags. I bought a new mattress topper recently that came in similar packaging to your curtains. I wondered where the noise was coming from and it was her sitting inside the packaging, purring like a motor, bless her. I had a bookcase and comfy chair in a corner of my bedroom. It was supposed to be my reading nook but I never used it in years. Until I swapped out the bookcase for a lovely mid century modern rolltop bureau that I found at an auction house going for a song. Now I use that nook every day. I also sleep with my blinds open. My OT said it was good for my circadian rhythm. Girl I could be your twin, if I wasn't old enough to be your mother 😂

I love wallpaper!

Love the make over . The cat in the bag lol 😂 mine also would do something crazy like that lol 😂 love um

I just love how helpful your kids are with the renovation😂😂❤❤

I like some wallpaper. But if i have to do it myself, definitely just painting. I wouldn't try b good at wallpapering with patterns. They had some lovely wallpapers there. 😻

Bjorg in the Bag. 😭

Can't wait to see what you get!

Those kittens are just adorable, as soon as I heard the plastic sound I knew some-kitty was in it, my son's cat loves to play with anything that is new, I myself give her those large plastic bags to play while am putting stuff away and once she tried of playing I put it away....great laughs when cats are around...love Ur new wallpaper, looking forward for next week....💗😺

I can appreciate nice patterned wall paper but can't cope with other patterns in the room so I'm more comfortable with plain paint. This looks lovely though.

You and your 2 little helpers are doing a great job love to watch your videos you do a great job in all you do and you make it all look so eazy ❤ & hugs for you. & your 2 baby's
