Wallpaper verses painting
Wallpapering is more expensive than painting, at a cost of at least $55 a roll for a reasonable quality vinyl, compared to around $200 for 10 litres of top coat.
If wallpaper is damaged by careless tenants or family members, it's more of a challenge to repair compared to quickly touching up paint damage. .
But wallpaper is cleaner to work with, you don't have to apply second coats and it does look great. But in the end, as with most decorating decisions, the choice is yours...
Here's a couple of before and after pictures of a rental property in Melville. We stripped, sanded and repapered the lounge walls all ready for the new tenants. It was a nice change from our usual painting process!

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
