Several weeks ago, OK probably more like several months, I was wandering through Ollie's and came upon a really cool sports border for Morgan's room. For 99 cents a roll. His room was looking kind of blah since we took the baby Winnie the Pooh border down. It had been up since Morgan was born, and it was time for a change. Morgan's really into sports, so I thought this border would be perfect. And it was already sticky, so I wouldn't have to worry about wetting it, etc. How hard could it be? On a side note, my sweet husband, who did not offer to help with this little project, no longer has as much hair as he used to. I thought it was hereditary. Now I'm not so sure. See, he was the one who put up the Win
nie the Pooh border many years ago. He neglected to tell me the reason he did not offer to help this time was that IT IS A PAIN TO DO and involves much hair-pulling and moaning "are you kidding me?". I know nothing about wallpaper, paint, walls, ceilings, measuring...Imagine my surprise when I realized, halfway along the first wall, that the ceiling and walls do not meet at 90 degree angle and continue in a straight line! And that means you cannot use the wallpaper smoother and continue around the corner. Not to mention the fun of cutting out around the closet and doorway. I'm tugging at my hair just thinking about it. Well, somehow I managed to muddle through. I had to take several breaks: sitting on the bed, glaring at the crooked wall, shedding a few frustrated tears, pouting on the back deck while Reese and Morgan played in the yard. If I must say so, the finished product doesn't look too bad. I will think long and hard about doing something like that again.
