You can print out wallpaper and flooring on an ordinary printer, but when you try to paste it to the walls the ink tends to run...I find it doesn't matter what paper I use, the ink still tends to run.

I print it out and then give it a spray with an acrylic varnish, let it dry and then paste it. Use spray because if you try to brush it on it will make the ink run....

If you want a really nice finish you can buy dollhouse wallpaper...sadly not here on Ebid, but plenty on the dark side...lol

Forgot to mention...if you are going to hardwire electrics into the house...you will need to make holes/grooves in the floors with holes for the wiring to the room below...so remember when putting down flooring that you may need to lift it again if the wiring goes wrong...I attach the flooring at the front and leave the back half unstuck....

...you may think you won't want lghts when you first start...but very soon you will...TRUST ME!!!
