Wallpaper came to America in 1739, when Plunket Fleeson began printing wallpaper in Philadelphia. Who knows if this piece of wikipedia is true but I need someone to blame.
The above picture has 4 layers I couldn't separate!
These are only the 16 samples of wallpaper we’ve spent hours steaming and cursing, I mean scraping off the walls and ceilings. Yes wallpaper on the ceilings must have been all the rage in the 1900′s! Thank goodness that our kids will know wallpaper as a digital thing and not the toxic gluey, messy, ugly thing of the past.
