Really pretty, unique and elegant. I purchased the blue, would highly recommend. We have Spanish style walls that are not smooth, so we pre-pasted wall liner prior to applying the wall paper. It went up with out too much hassle. There was quite a bit of waste, but that could be due to the shape of our wall. If you have an odd shaped area you are trying to cover, I would recommend a 20% waste calculation. We had a couple areas where the wall liner was a bit visible. I used a bit of light blue paint and rubbed it in the creases and you can't tell where the creases used to be. I am using the scraps for making flower and pencil holders out of food cans.
