michandy, I'm sorry -- I've looked and come up with nothing! If you even suspect it came from Country Home Ideas, try sending a photo to them to see if they can help. Or, hang in there -- someone here on Houzz may know where to get it. Christi, on behalf of Thos. Baker

You're welcome! Roof/city scapes are like landscapes, but the views are of roofs not plants. Google roofscapes images and you'll get the idea : ) And if you're not bothered by the roof next door then I'm not bothered by the roof next door! I'm sad to say though that your metal outside stairs idea will likely not get approval from your local Council. I say that approval is unlikely because that roof next door seems very close, so I imagine the setback of your house (and theirs) is likely as close as Council will let you get. In other words, no building of any structure such as stairs would be allowed in the space that's there now. But never say never...give their planning department a call or submit an enquiry online and just run the plan past them. Maybe instead of stairs you actually mean a Juliet balcony? (google it!) Even that plus the type of window it's attached to is subject to Council approval so again, you would need to contact them. Plants on a Juliet balcony would indeed be very charming but I'm not sure how realistic this option is. So all that being said, I'm still going for my roofscape/cityscape option to better incorporate next door's roof. Roofscapes can include trees too you know!

I'd search Designers Guild. Or Porters Paints. But others will be along with ideas.

Having lived in the UK, wood chip paper deserved its reputation as the most difficult paper to remove, but there will always be patches that are a little more stubborn! Is your steamer a wallpaper steamer with flat base and 'ledge' to sit against the wall, or a general 'steam off into air' steamer? I found my wallpaper steamer brilliantly effective, and brought it back with me... Friends who borrowed it were so impressed, they wanted to buy it off me. You will find this method works on all paper types, including flock and vinyl faced. First, lay a plastic groundsheet. Mel N is right - score the paper all over (in smallish diamonds or just randomly) with the corner of a 100mm wide metal paint scraper. The closer the scores to cut the surface of the paper, the easier the stripping. Working over 5-6 (steam base) areas, place steamer against the wall, allowing time for it to penetrate the edges of scores each time, then come back to scrape with the metal scraper from the first area, then second etc. This gives the steam time to seep in. Repeat. Clean up wallpaper scrapings from the floor regularly as they will be sticky and messy. Finally wash down the wall with sugar soap to remove adhesive, open windows for drying and prepare your walls as usual.
