That is fantastic. I've heard about Williamsburg painting techniques (layers of successive colors and glazed) but not the wall paper techniques. Very cool. Was there anything special about the paper - do they make that at the site as well? Harvested from reeds or cat-tails or ???

Excellent historical story.. It makes you wonder if technology has really made such great advances. Its hard to discount the time, skill, and attention to detail that are such a big part of crafts.

Absolutely loved the video of making wallpaper. Very interesting and absolutely beautiful wallpaper made. Takes a lot of patience to make the wallpaper. Thanks for this video.

Thank you Ron for another fascinating factoid from our nearly forgotten past. I never appreciated the expertise involved in hand printed wall paper.

I love your tips, but really hate the new ads. I have to watch the same commercial for each of the tips I want to see. What can we do to get rid of them?

I hated the removing of old wall paper...I rented a steam machine to get it all off.

Susan, you will have time to do these things when you retire. Partner and I (both in our 8th Decade) are going to begin refinishing our kitchen cabinets tomorrow! after watching Ron's video on cabinet refinishing. Have fun with whatever you choose to do!

I loved the article about how wallpaper was made years ago. Never knew how it was done. Very interesting. Wish I had time to do that.
