[Prudie]

unbelievably expensive?

*** knows ... how many rolls have you ordered?

[woofgang]

I think they are wholly or partly hand printed Prudie

[whiskeryron]

Because it is exclusive. You get what you pay for.

[Tilly2]

I don't actually like it, Prudie. Not the price, as such, just the 'busyness' of it all.

C and F for me.

[Anngel]

Because some idiot will buy it at that price...

[Buenchico]

Only £375 per roll?

I might buy some for the third footman's quarters then.

Of course, for the Grand Hall I wouldn't consider anything other than the same manufacturer's bespoke service:

Now I'm wondering just how much that costs?

;-)

[Prudie]

You'd feel like you'd have to leave the price tag - just so people know how exclusive you are...

[Tilly2]

No, Prudie. People would know, if you move in the right circles, that is.

[Prudie]

The one I posted, have to be honest Tilly, to me could quite easily be from B&Q

[Tilly2]

Not nice, is it?

[Buenchico]

>>> could quite easily be from B&Q

. . . so, as far as I can see, could most of their range be!

However I admit to being won over by this border ;-)

I want! I want!

I'm surprised Buenchico's grand hall isn't panelled, with the finest Grinling Gibbons' carvings. I wouldn't dream of papering mine, even with Chinese silk. That's for the Withdrawing room.
