Dear, no wallpapers for the first occupancy?

Cool, thanks!
It really looks better. And now the crucial question: How much did it cost (Euro/effort)?

The wall surfaces of 120m2 living space were worked on. With difficult conditions due to an open gallery.

I'll put it this way... 2 men..., and a TOTAL of 100 man-hours at €22 hourly wage...

In addition, various buckets of filler, primer, and paint...
So you can roughly estimate...

Thanks to you! It really looks good overall, but not perfect. But you can be satisfied with that. You can easily achieve this result with one plastering without sanding in Q2. But for that, you need a good craftsman company.

I think it also depends on the base surface that is already there. If there are such extreme waves in it as we had, I don't think you can manage it with one filling.
But I don't want to swear by that.

The guys did a good job. The price was right, so I am more than satisfied.
If I had paid significantly more, they might have had to rework 1-2 spots...

But I have to say that the guys held LED floodlights with grazing light on the wall and worked precisely.
I even checked it myself and said it was okay.
After I connected the wall lamps in the living room, I still noticed very small spots. That showed me that even the lamps cause the grazing light differently...

The next step would be to glue fine painter’s fleece on it... But we like it this way and we had enough of the mess...

Absolute catastrophe if you already live in the house. You can tape everything off as well as you want...

Next time I will go to a hotel for the 2 weeks, that’s for sure

We belong to the crazy ones who wallpapered.

I'll attach a few pictures. It was primed directly over Q2 and wallpapered. In some places, the painter sanded a bit.
It's not perfect. It's not perfectly sanded, not perfectly smooth, not perfectly painted, not perfectly wallpapered.
But it wasn't that important to us that the walls be as smooth as an eel. We have a toddler and were simply too stingy to invest a five-figure amount in the wall design right now.
In 5 years, when the house is dry and everything has settled, we can still renovate it and make it "more perfect" if it’s more important to us or bothers us by then.
At the moment, I’m quite happy. Even when moving in, the stairwell and a wall here and there got a little scratch. I would have been four times more upset if it had cost four times as much.

Attached are a few pictures. Incidentally, they also show quite well what it looks like when you wallpaper something a bit smoother or less smooth over a not completely smooth Q2 wall, and why that is no option for perfectionists.

Hallway under the stairs

Wallpaper with wide stripes. Hard to see very well in the photos from a distance. It's like that in the upper gallery and lower hallway, almost throughout the stairwell.

Office. Braided pattern painted in gray-blue.

Living room. Very delicate vertical stripes, hardly visible in the photos.


Storage room: Here you can see what happens when you wallpaper smooth wallpaper over Q2. I assume the painter didn’t sand a lot here either. It’s also cramped in the small closet.
It doesn’t bother us, it’s a storage room, and a shelf will be placed in front of it later.

Children’s room slightly textured and gray-green

Bedroom, same braided pattern as in the office, light gray-brown. Light coming in from the window.

Ceiling in the bedroom – admittedly looks pretty bad. The ceilings overall didn’t turn out so well with our method. It doesn’t really bother us, we don’t constantly look at the ceiling. Only in the bedroom is it a bit annoying.

These are not classic textured wallpaper and it looks neat, and you like it or it fits into your life; that's what matters. It is important that each person does what they really like, and if it were textured wallpaper, that would be just as good, even if I can't imagine it for myself.

These are not classic woodchip wallpaper and it looks neat, and you like it or it fits your life; that’s what matters. It is important that each person does what they really like, and if that were woodchip wallpaper, that would be just as good, even if I can't imagine that for myself.

I can’t stand woodchip wallpaper anymore either. I lived too long in rental apartments/houses where woodchip wallpaper is usually always on the walls. We wallpapered with fleece fiber, which comes in a zillion different designs. But you have to be careful, we sometimes chose some that were a bit thinner in coating. That plus Q2 plaster causes bumps and lumps in places. And overall, we built in a rural style. Rough clinker brick, sash windows, gable. I think that modern, smoothly polished plaster wouldn’t fit well inside with that.

I wouldn’t spend that much money on plastering. I actually managed it on my own on the first day after the instruction, then just went over it with the giraffe and that was it, but the painter will definitely appreciate the perfectionism and the comfortably sitting wallet.

I wouldn’t spend so much money on plastering. I actually managed it alone on the first day after instruction, then just went over it with the giraffe and done, but the painter probably appreciates the perfectionism and the generous wallet

It’s also a matter of time and talent....
