This is beautiful walllaper!  It wasn't terribly difficult to work with. The pattern had a very small repeat and little waste.  I saw that some people chose not to paint their wallpaper and it is beautiful as is. The lines are more noticeable that way and I did choose to paint. There wasn't any tips on painting this type of wallpaper. I chose to brush the entire wall instead of a roller. Almost a dry brush method. I felt the detail would have been lost if using a roller. The paint camouflages the seams too.
