OK, maybe I am confused here.

I thought you guyz in the UK papered your ceilings, as is often
mentioned in various Brit-Coms, like That Bucket Woman.

But y'all PAPER the walls, and then PAINT the papered walls???

Howcum is that???
 
Not sure about everyone else but I paper my ceiling then paint it ( Of cause when I say I paper I mean the man of the house) ;)
 
But why paint over paper???

That is clearly different from here in the states, far so I know.

Only time I ever painted over paper was when I could
not strip the paper, and that was on a wall not a ceiling.
Ceilings here get semi-gloss white. No paper.

This may help to explain Brit-Coms like LOTSW. No wonder
those guyz wander the hills.

The paper has a pattern but no colour,so you can have it the colour you want,here is a link to give you some idea of what it looks like http://www.superfrescoeasy.com/product/02-033/Eve/6 so it is just a printer paper and you paint it
 
Also if you live in an old cottage like me its the paper that's keeping the plaster in place !!
 
Update Thursday, the cupboards all 6 of them are on the wall,the ceiling is papered and will be painted tomorrow,then hopefully over the weekend the worktops will be fitted,later today I will get some of the network back up,we also got some of the power made into double sockets,not sure if it will all be done before we head to Yorkshire on Monday,just a short break before we tackle replacing all the central heating pipework,then carry on decorating,might be done by Christmas
 
Was a slow day with the work today,I had to make a trip to Toolstation in Lincoln for supplies,if you have never used this company I will say they are much better and cheaper than Screwfix who are now owned by B&Q,plus if you do not fancy a drive out you can order online and get free next day delivery if you spend more than £10.

With my few days away coming up the room will not be finished for another week,we are looking forward to having a few days break
