As a first time "wallpaperer", I can say that the peel and stick method is AWESOME! Soooo forgiving and pretty darn easy to work with. There is more waste than I expected (mostly due to having various sized walls) because you have to match up the "repeat" of the pattern, so make sure to consider that when you measure...definitely round up! This wallpaper was easy to cut and felt pretty substantial. Even when I crumpled a piece, the wrinkles came out and looked fine on the wall. You do have to be a bit careful when tugging and pulling because I think it does want to stretch a wee bit and that can make lining up the pattern a bit tricky. Overall I am super pleased and I want to do it again!!! P.S. Sorry about the mess in the pictures :)
