That ending was phenomenal.

The spoiler below is just one of my personal interpretations of the ending. 

I think after she began ripping off wallpaper she found an old hook or beam of sorts and hung herself using the rope she mentioned having. I think after she died she became the woman in the wallpaper (or she became another woman in the wallpaper) which is why it talks about creeping around at the end. So I believe the reason her husband fainted is because he saw her dead body after she committed suicide.
