Hoping to add some punch to a powder room, I once attempted to install peel-and-stick wallpaper myself. Like a lot of homeowners, I went the temporary paper route because I wanted to introduce a little pattern and polish to the space, but I was leery of making a big commitment. The regrettable affair played out like a long-lost “I Love Lucy” episode — undoubtedly titled “A Sticky Situation” — in which more of the wallpaper ends up on Lucy than the walls. Needless to say, I had to call in a pro to set things straight.
