Description
Hello all, I would like to transform my small bathroom, from a dingy, 60s looking space, to make it less ugly. :) I've never wallpapered before, and I've called around and everyone is quoting me ridiculous prices that make me think I should just give up my career and become a wallpaper applier. Just thought I'd ask you all if anyone would be willing to do this for me. There's 90 square feet. I would remove the towel racks and towel hangers.... but this would require cutting around an outlet, a light switch, a built in mirror, built in toilet paper holder, and a light and a vent. It thankfully would not involve going behind anything like a toilet or a sink as there is tile there. Also I'm getting plenty of extra wallpaper... would like to try to wrap the wooden thing near the floor to match the wallpaper around it.... if that ends up looking bad, I'll just paint it an accent color myself later on. Just wanted to be upfront about the potential challenges. I also will be using a tropical wallpaper where it's more important that it stays pretty lined up. The ceilings are basically eight feet high. I have a step stool. I have a chalkboard eraser for smoothing out the paper (youtubers say a normal smoother would stretch the paper and cause problems), I have a three feet long steel ruler / straight edge along with a utility knife I just purchased. So I should have the supplies you need to get the job done. If my set of hands were needed to help out, I could be there to help. I ordered this tropical looking wallpaper: I'll post some photos.... I was told I shouldn't attempt to paper the area above the shower tile.... In an elevator building on Bleecker near Mercer. Saturday could work or Sunday morning or Monday morning. I'd like someone who has already done this type of work before so you are comfortable with making the cuts and lining it up and getting out the air bubbles. Could you tell me what you would want paid for the job / how many hours you estimate it would take? If you need my set of hands, let me know as well. I could stay out of your way and you could always yell for me whenever you need me to help slowly peel the plastic off the paper.
