Frederick: Hey John Martin! You better run!
John Martin: Huh? Why?
Holly Belle (from the other room): Oh, John Martin! ♫ Where are you? ♫
John Martin: Oh no!
Frederick: Gotta go. Good luck!
Holly Belle: Ah, here you are. I just can't wait to tell you about the absolutely brilliant idea I have. Would you like to hear it?
John Martin: Well, I , uh...
Holly Belle: It's a new decorating project! You and I are going to wallpaper the activity room.
John Martin: Wallpaper?!? Isn't that kind of difficult?
Holly Belle: Nonsense; it's the easiest thing in the world. Why, it's so easy even a child could do it.
Holly Belle: And just look at the paper I've picked out. Isn't the patterb beautiful? Oh, I just can't wait to get started!
John Martin: Ugh...
Holly Belle: Luke and Ezra will move the furniture for us. Right, boys?
Luke: What do we gotta do?
Holly Belle: You'll need to move these bookcases out of the room.
Ezra: Why?
Holly Belle: Because we can't hang the wallpaper if they're in the way! Honestly!
Harriet: Wait! We have to take all these things off the shelves first.
Ulli: Und ve must dust!
Ezra: Good grief, no one said this was going to be so complicated.
And so, a little while later...
Holly Belle: You have to press it up against the wall!
John Martin: That's what I'm trying to do!
Quite a while later...
Holly Belle: It's finished!
John Martin: And so am I...
Holly Belle: You did a wonderful job. Just rest; I'll get the boys to move the furniture back in.
Ezra: But we just moved it all out!
Holly Belle: And now you need to move it all back in! Honestly!
Ezra & Luke: >mutter, mutter, grumble, grumble<
Harriet: Oh, it's just lovely!
Ulli: Ja, das ist sehr hübsch!
Holly Belle: Now, see boys, wasn't it worth all the trouble? Boys? Where did they go?

Holly Belle is definitely the one to avoid at your place ! Although she does get things done, a supervisor not manual labour in her case.
John Martin did a great job on the wallpapering and the boys doing the removals and returns too.
I think though Holly Belle may have a little trouble finding any of the lads for a while now ;)
Lovely wallpaper Holly Belle a good choice maybe you could give your workers a nice treat like some sweet or bake them a cake.... Oh I mean get one of the others to bake the cake, you being management :)
Loved this. Reminds me of when we wallpapered our younger son's room. My husband said 'Let me do it, I have a feeling I'm going to be really good at this'....many hours later, only one sheet had been hung! :D I had to finish it as he gave up.
Looks like they did a great job and it is a lovely choice of wallpaper.
