Two paperhangers are at work this moment hanging the best that our village affords, while a German upholsterer is on his knees measuring my chairs for chintz slip covers that will hide every inch of their plush upholstery.
"Dear Enemy"
Jean Webster
Daughters of toil, who scrub and wash and mend and cook, who are dressmakers, paperhangers, milkmaids, gardeners, and candle-makers all in one, and yet have time to be cheerful and tasty in your homes, and make the best of the few oases to be found along the narrow dusty track of your existence.
"My Brilliant Career"
Miles Franklin
Her own house was having some repairs, so she had made a convenience of our hospitality to escape the discomforts of paperhangers and painters.
