    Wallpaper Borders - Borders of Ingenuity

    It was a rainy lazy Sunday morning. Everyone in my household was still asleep. As a mater of fact I was still rubbing the sleepiness from my eyes. Lying on my back just gazing around my bedroom walls, there was a horrible feeling that crept inside of me. My bedroom walls just stared back at me with a naked dull expression. Suddenly something stirred inside of me. In fact I new what had to be accomplished. If not at this very second, but soon. Staring around me, now with my eyes wide open, I had a plan. Scrambling through my desk drawer I spotted the book that would get my bedroom walls out of their doldrums.

    This fabulous book is an entire catalog of wallpaper borders. With a little creativity and the help of this book, my walls should be ready to hum with delight. There is an abundance of patterns, materials, sizes and designs to fill my decorating needs.

    First of all from the table of contents it informed me that there are three types of wallpaper borders. Pre-pasted so all you need to do is moisten and apply. There are also self adhesive wallpaper borders, which are the simplest, just peel and stick. Finally there are wallpaper borders that need you to apply the adhesive to the back. The last one sounded like I would need help from a professional and the choices of paper seemed more expensive. So I settled my search on the first two.

    I knew from doing other projects that it is best to choose colors and patterns that would compliment and co-ordinate with the decor of the bedroom. I was undecided if the border should be applied along the top of the molding going around the entire room or if it should be placed mid way on the wall. Both ways would create a totally different and unique effect.

    Visually wallpaper borders allow you to work with bold colors and any pattern that would be to massive for the entire wall. Looking through the catalog, I was debating between bright colorful prints that would certainly brighten up the room or a bold dramatic print that would tender a sophisticated style. This finishing touch would accentuate my decor and virtually make the room come alive with its brilliance.

    Finally after many hours one of the prints jumped out at me. This had to be the one that would allow the vision that I imagined to appear. So the next step was to order it and get my walls ready for the change. These narrow strips could easily be applied over my painted walls. The walls had to be cleaned and smoothed before their transformation.

    After my rolls of wallpaper borders arrived another idea came to me. Gathering my family together I announced that this would be a project that would be fun for all of us. My family all agreed and we started dividing up what we needed for hanging.

    My husband, because he is a man, decided he would get the tools together. He felt we had everything that was needed around the house. The material was vinyl backed so it would be easy to clean and was also pre-pasted. He brought into the room a razor knife, ruler, sponges and a shallow bin to wet the paper in. It took the better half of the day and evening to complete. There was also enough of the paper so we could put up a border around the windows and bedroom door. This extra touch was stunning and made the windows and doors the focal points of the room. I could not get over the fact that the room looked larger, softer and felt cozier. This certainly was a quick solution for an eye appealing sight.

    With a little ingenuity and your imagination you can realize that anything is possible. With a theme in mind you can create a masterpiece for any room you choose.
