We'd foolishly believed we could handle measuring and ordering enough wallpaper using this particular site's online calculator--painfully stupid of us on many counts, I can assure you. People, I'm telling you, do EVERYONE involved a favor and just have Mel come out and measure the project himself to spare his sanity, your pocketbook, and ultimately your project. What did the provider do? HIS PATIENCE, EXPERTISE, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP ABSOLUTELY SAVED OUR PROJECT, THAT'S WHAT HE DID!!!!! It's only one bedroom wall, but it's POSITIVELY PERFECT AND GORGEOUS, so much so that I refuse to hang anything on it so as not to ruin or hide all of Mel's hard work! He's so good, I can't imagine calling anyone else for any other wallpapering projects we have, which is why I was terrified that with all the aggravation we'd (again inadvertently, but he was still stuck dealing with the aftermath of our ignorance about the product we ordered) caused him, he'd refuse to work on any of our other projects, particularly because they all involve more screwy special order paper from the same company we'd just traumatized him with, but when I finally worked up the courage to ask Mel if we scared him away from ever working with us again, he said, "No, but I'll definitely want to come out and measure for you before you order the paper next time." PHEW! Crisis averted! And if you're wondering why, after all the drama, we'd get more special order paper from the same place, or why Mel would agree to do more projects using the same special order pain-in-the-butt paper, it's because it's flipping beautiful, that's why. Even after Mel saw that it came on a huge, long roll (literally like the ones upholstery fabric are rolled on and displayed in stores--yeah, weird, I know) and he realized it needed to be cut and trimmed into the right width for hanging, he said, "Well, I can at least see why you wanted it. It's really nice, even though I've never seen paper done like this before." He wasn't even sure what sort of adhesive he'd need or even be able to use on it, so Mel took the sample piece I'd ordered to work on it, but of course he's Mel, so he figured everything out and he said that getting the right adhesive for it and on it actually ended up being easier than he thought (which I know means that a mere mortal like myself would have destroyed not only the paper, but probably my floors as well, but that's okay, my ego can take it--especially when I'm gazing upon Mel's amazing work when I'm upstairs). If all this hasn't already scared you away or your curiosity is getting the better of you, and your wondering from where we get the crazy special paper, check out designyourwall.com. They're out of Van Nuys, CA. Great customer service when I had to call about getting some missing samples re-sent to me, and like I've gushed before, gorgeous and unique paper styles if you care to pay their prices. Regardless, whatever paper you've got and don't want to or can't hang yourself, spend your time and money wisely by getting Mel--I just hope his schedule isn't completely packed when we're ready for our next project!
