Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Finally finished the wallpaper in the camper and gave it a pretty decent look. However, I started looking at the ceiling and wanted something different – originally painted.. I am thinking about wallpaper for it as well. The wallpaper on the walls has held up pretty good after some very wet, humid, and cold weather. I know that there are a lot of options about ceiling materials – however I do want to use wallpaper due to the many design choices out there – any thoughts? :thinking:

In that case it would be ceilingpaper :lol:

Your wallpaper looks so cool, so I wouldn't hesitate on a ceiling. As an alternative ...and much thanks for your help...that hulliner/headliner is turning out nice. It does soften things up some in a small place. Couldn't have done it with out you!

I dated a wallpaper hanger for a couple of years. She papered my bathroom. She said that moisture affecting the paper was more about the glue you use than the paper. I think she used vinyl adhesive, but I could be wrong. I know she didn't use the normal stuff. It has been up for close to 10 years without a problem. Just ask at a big box store or paint place that carries paper and ask what kind of glue they would suggest for a moisture laden environment.

Ya gotta get the embossed paper that looks like a tin ceiling. With the right base paint and an overglaze you can get a faux metal look that is fantastic.. It would look real nice with the 48" lighted ceiling fan. :lol:

If you want paper then go for it. I like the embossed look too, but without the metal. Something softer. The headliner Dave has is great but not something you can change out. :thumbsup:

Had a few sunny days so let the wall paper paste’ n festival begin!

After:

It went up pretty easy, but for the ceiling, you REALLY need and extra set of hands until it all contacts - then it can slide around and position it. Now Am I finally finished? :roll:
