    For those of us who are a little older - well maybe more than a "little older" - I definitely recognize that tool from my decoupage days in the '70s. It's a brayer roller!

    That is a tool that was used many years ago to roll the seams when wallpapering. The seams were always a problem if you didn’t roll them well. I had one back in the day as I did a lot of wallpapering.

    I looked it up and even though we may call them brayers which are typically rubber not wood. They were know as wallpaper seam rollers back when wallpaper was used a lot. It was to insure the seams of wallpaper were not noticeable. How funny since you love your wallpaper. What a neat find!!!

    I have a wooden roller quite like the one you used. Back in the 1980’s-90’s, I used it to smooth and adhere the edges of wallpaper and wallpaper borders. I had wallpaper in many rooms. It was beautiful. Why don’t we use wallpaper anymore? I had the most gorgeous red plaid in my front hall. I stenciled beautiful borders in other rooms. It was all the rage. You could learn how to stencil in stores that sold stencils. I remember a store that had a large selection of stencils on the walls, so I could be inspired to buy that stencil. Those were the days!
