website to show your craftmanship"


"Hi, I'm John Dewey and
welcome to my website!"
In 1976 at the age of 23 and 1 year out of the US Army,
I attended the US School of Professional Paperhanging in Rutland Vermont.
That was the beginning of my now 48 year wallpapering career. 
 
After a 29 year career in Massachusetts, I moved to South Africa in 2005
and got married for the first and last time. Conway Twitty and
Loretta Lynn’s – Lousianna woman Mississippi man was
nothing compared to this. I thought I was going to give up
wallpapering and become a farmer. 
 
But what do you know. Wallpaper was just coming back in
fashion in Cape Town. And my wife started Wallaroo Wallpapering
so that I could legally work there.

And we succeeded way beyond expectations.

We worked for all the leading designers in South Africa and
developed a fabulous reputation. In 2011 we installed wallpaper in a
bedroom suite at the famous Vergelegen Wine Estate in
Somerset West Cape Town that they were making ready for a visitor
from the UK. His name was Charles. Now King Charles. 
 
In 2019 my wife and I decided to move back
to my home country, and we are here now in Mount Pleasant,
and here to stay. I still enjoy installing wallpaper and
put my all into every job, regardless of size. 
 
I want your wallpaper to look as fabulous as you do,
and you should expect nothing less from me.
