Great tutorial for someone who’s super intimidated to do some palm leaf wallpaper in our next remodel project. Not that I’m going to be anywhere near at this man’s level for my DIY project!

Also, the music in the background is awesoem💯😃

Great video. Fingers crossed after a trip to the store for some stuff that I'm able to do my first wallpaper.

Thank you so much for your clear and very practical directions. I am going to be installing I pasted wallpaper this week for the first time and this is exactly what I wanted. I know how much time it takes to make a video, so once again, really appreciate it.

Thank you Spencer, it's nice to watch a no nonsense video by someone who knows what they are talking about.

Thanks for your help. It came out great! The hardest part was on the last sheet when I had excess at the top, the right and the bottom. I didn't know how to push it into the inside corner with my straight edge without it bunching and wanting to crease. But the BIN you recommended did great. Thanks again.

Paste the wall is a life saver on our UK staircases, any tips on Papering ceilings on your own would be great. Cheers M

That cut at the very end. That’s what I came for!

Hi Spencer! I’ve watched your videos on using wallpaper primers (a.k.a. sizing)... In this situation, should I prime the wall first (maybe with Zinsser Gardz) and let it dry completely before applying my Roman 880 adhesive & wallpaper? I’m working on an old house with some strange wall materials like hardboard paneling and old plaster. Anyway... Thanks for all the great wallpaper videos, and for sharing your expertise with us!

Do I need a specific type of paper for this type of installation? I’ve seen a lot of your videos where you’re applying the glue to your paper. This looks so much easier. Also, you remind me of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Christopher Walken 😝
