Don't let the other DIY "you tubes" fool ya, wallpapering takes a VERY LONG TIME. Now perhaps, I had a special case, because I had SO much prep work to do, but still, it you want it to come out decent, you gotta take your time.
It's all the details like around the corners, edges, and around the window sills.
I was ORIGINALLY going just 1/3 up, but the walls were in such bad condition, I did a plate rail hight vs. a chair rail height.
But, I'm done--at least in the living room.
I even had to wait for one more roll to arrive via UPS. But fortunately, it came Friday...so I had to finish this weekend, so J can add the last bit of plate rail molding.
Here are some pix:
had to do 2 coats on ceiling |
covered with some prep completed |
in a holding pattern, waiting form more wallpaper to arrive ALL DONE!!!!! |
the color is called: FUN YELLOW, on the walls, the ceiling is 1/2 FUN yellow and 1/2 white ceiling paint. |
plate rail height, headboard, paintable wallpaper, needs paint! I plan on painting the beadboard a shiny or at least semi-gloss white, as well as the molding. I also did a bit in the bathroom. |
NOTICE the lovely pattern on the vinyl floor!!! |
Improved with black tiles, and notice the AWESOME sliding farm door, the handle I bought for $2.50 from a used boat store, it's a big cleat! |
