| Description: New England Floral features delicate floral sprays on a patterned ivory and gold stripe background. The pre-Civil War design is as fresh today as it was the day it was first created.
The Waterhouse collection of early designs consists entirely of authentic reproductions of original wallpapers which were first used in this country circa 1700-1920. In those days, sea captains brought back the finest handmade wallpapers from China and Europe as part of their cargo. These papers were designed and often hand-painted by the most accomplished artists of their day and are truly works of art. These incredible papers would have disappeared if not for the efforts of one remarkable and determined woman: Dorothy Waterhouse. Dorothy Waterhouse traveled the New England Countryside searching trunks, attics, and even closets of old homesteads for fragments of the original papers. The papers she found hidden, often under layers of paint or wallpaper, are the basis for this outstanding collection and an important part of the American heritage. Because each design is a work of art, each design is not only timeless, but also always in good taste, serving as the perfect setting for any decorating style.

HOW MUCH WALLPAPER DO I NEED?
Although it varies by number of doors and windows and pattern match, it takes, on AVERAGE, 10 rolls to paper the walls in an 8 x 10 room with 8 ft. high ceilings. The same room with 10 ft. high ceilings would need 12 rolls. To paper the walls of an average 10 x 14 room with 8 ft. ceilings you will need, in general, a minimum of 14 rolls. If you have 10 ft. ceilings and a 16 x 20 room, you will likely need a minimum of 26 rolls. You should use an on-line wallpaper calculator to determine your exact needs. There are several available, including one at http://diy.easy2.com/. I always like to add a roll or two so I have extra just in case I cut a piece incorrectly or for things like lining drawers or shelves, or even papering a closet to match the room.
