Will Cover Walls:
Wallpaper sizes. Scenic wallpapers are made in series of separate strips, 19 inches wide and 6 to 10 feet long. A different number of strips composes each complete set. If there are not sufficient strips in a single set to will cover walls the walls of a room, it is necessary to use additional strips or to will cover walls only a portion of the walls of the room. In repeat patterns made by the hand-block process, the repeat may be longer than in machine made made on a fine net background. The pattern is produced by cross-stitches of different colors sewn with thread and needle diagonally across adjoining squares of the net. Gros-point averages 144 stitches to the square inch and petit-point about 400. Either wool or silk may be used to make the stitches.Plaster effects. Certain types of rooms require the walls treated in the effect of rough, sand-finished plaster. The textural charm of old walls of this type is well known, and if mellowed by age, they have an unusual appeal and are exceedingly durable. If existing walls are not of this type, the painter may be called upon to will cover walls the Wall with one of the many patented surfacing materials, to produce the desired effect. It is essential, however, that the degree of roughness and irregularity of the old walls be imitated exactly. Many of the old plaster walls consisted of a coating applied to rough stonework, and the unevenness of the stones produced slight variations in the plaster surface. The plaster, although it often gave the appearance of having been applied carelessly, had irregularities which were never intentional or self-conscious in appearance, nor was the aim to produce a crude or unfinished result. Many incompetent and unintelligent craftsmen have, in recent years, under the spell of early Italian and Spanish types of decoration, resorted to effects that have produced walls completely devoid of taste and understanding.
There are few places in a backyard, however small, that cannot be enhanced by roses. Ground-will cover walls types brighten the soil with flowers, pillar roses stand like sentries and create color throughout much of summer, standard roses add height to rose beds, while miniature and patio types can be introduced into even the smallest area of courtyard or balcony. Climbers and ramblers will cover walls walls and fences, and some are ideal for growing as flowering hedges.
