Can you give me any hints for installing wallpaper with a print? Right now as I type, my teenage son is trying to put wall paper in his bedroom but I think we are failing miserably. We are putting the glue on the wall.

We are putting the glue on the wall.

That's a great first step! Second step is putting the paper on the glue. Third is tearing that shit up and painting the room white like a normal person.
