yay procrastination!

Remind me about this if i ever start talking about wallpapering or putting up a border myself EVER again. Pulling down wallpaper sucks. So does putting up borders. And prepasted my ass! It doesnt count if it wont stick to the wall!! Has anyone ever hung a borer on a painted wall? Because any hints or tips would be very appreciated. Short of just calling some one else in to do something i should be able to do.
I feel like a monkey trying to earn a bananna doing something i cant possibly master. Im super crafty, and good not just passable at most everything i do. So why can i not seem to hang a stupid border!?!? I've hung drywall. I've built shelving. I've painted anything that would stand still. And i took down wallpaper in the same room that was hung with super industrial paste from the 70s. plus three otehr layers of paste beneath that! Just to do a stupid suede paint. Which, by the way doesnt go on so well at the ceiling line. Its super hard to do. Which is why i decided a border would be the way to go to cover it up... BAD idea folks. Bad idea. But I will figure this out. Because thats how i am. But it doesnt mean ill ever do it again...

Rubber Cement? Seriously, wallpaper in all it's forms is the devil. Maybe you could paint a border? Like mark off the area, scuff it up with sandpaper, prime, paint a solid color, then use stencils or stamps or something? Maybe you could go get some wood molding and nail that up to cover the not so hot area if its small?
