It’s Spring are you all Dressed up for Company? - 04/28/08 06:12 AM
This is one of the columns I write each week in my local paper. You see we are just seeing green grass in this area of Canada.
Today I am not just speaking about ReDesigning to sell but also to ReDesigning to dwell and also ReDesigning to LIVE.
This time of year the yards and houses look dreadful, brown grass if you have any left at all, muddy driveways, bushes bent and broken from the weight of all the snow we got over the winter, garbage has blown around properties from a mile away it seems.

 We all rush around today trying to get the important things done in our lives, work, school, groceries, gas, shopping, sports, after school involvements of all kinds and sometimes we even stop to breathe.

I know I hate to admit I would consider hanging wallpaper again, but here it is,,,,I would.
That being said let us do some research on wallpaper and where it has come from and see where it now is going.
“Around 4000 B.C., the earliest known form of "paper" was introduced:  Egyptian papyrus.
Wallpaper actually began in ancient China, first because the Chinese invented paper, and secondly because they glued rice paper onto their walls as early as 200 B.C.
