This paper is thicker than you would expect, it has some spring it to it. I think it would be fairly easy to paint, but I decided to leave it white because the hallway I used it in doesn't have any windows and I wanted it stay light and bright. Hanging it was interesting, but it had nothing to do with the quality of the paper, I've just never hung wallpaper before. I had paste everywhere. Anyway...Attached are some pictures.
