Review on Novogratz CO472 Constellations Removable Wallpaper by Randy Bin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Basically I am very satisfied!

It is difficult to install it yourself! Make sure you have a buddy! I spent a few days pondering why to attach it and how to trim it. I only bought 2 rolls, that was enough, but in a couple of places the patterns don't match (they're hidden in the corners). In general I am very satisfied. Above the shelf I glued the paper from left to right. Below the shelf I applied top and bottom. To be honest I think it was easier to apply left to right. TIP: Use a paint roller to apply and smooth out bubbles. The softness of the paint roller didn't stretch or cut through the paper when applied. TIP 2: Wrap the cut parts with tape in advance. This made it easier to find the best template setting. Also, I worked with the most minimal set of paper (cheap, what can I say?). Unfortunately, the pattern is every 20 inches and the inter cannot be turned upside down. Because of this, there was a bit of wastage, so I fixed the work. TIP 3: Make sure your walls are as smooth as possible. I was in no hurry to putty and sand before applying the paper. There were a few more places I missed that you can spot if you look closely. There were a couple of times (more than I care to admit) that I tried to align the second part where I might rip off the wall. So I can say with confidence that the glue is excellent! It's been about a week now and no signs of sagging or peeling.
