I consider myself a handy woman. Plumbing, electrical and crafty. This by all means was not easy and the system is flawed. The first strip is the easiest, but as the roll comes to the end there are bubbles and those bubbles set you up for failure. It is impossible to not have it bubble and lining it up perfect. Just write that off in the beginning. I ended up used a razor and cutting slits to let out the air and smooth out our as much as possible. However, I noticed the next day that it was coming back up and wonder what the life expectancy is of this 100 wallpaper. One panel I completely ripped off and threw across the room. So make sure to buy extra. Have fun!
