The present invention is directed to a wallpaper border cutter device which is used for trimming wallpaper at a preselected level below a ceiling. The device includes a base which has a substantially flat face surface and is of adequate thickness to support wheels. Additionally, it has a protruding member extending outwardly from the face surface for receiving a slidable blade holder. There is a first plurality of wheels mounted on the base in a plane at about 90. degree. to the face surface of the base for rolling the cutter device along a wall as well as a second plurality of wheels mounted on the base for rolling the cutting device along the ceiling and in combination with the first plurality of wheels for rolling the cutting device simultaneously along a wall and a ceiling. The device also includes a plurality of parallel blade holder mounting slots which are located on the protruding member for slidably mounting a blade holder as well as at least one cutting slot and in a preferred embodiment two cutting slots located on the base for permitting a portion of the blade to extend therethrough. A blade holder is removably and slidably mounted in the plurality of parallel blade holder mounting slots and a locking mechanism is connected to the blade holder and at least one of the parallel blade holder mounting slots so as to permit temporary locking of the blade holder at a preselected location along the plurality of parallel blade holder mounting slots.
