I did it! Beadboard wallpaper is up- thanks GW'ers!
Comments (22)Thanks everyone! I love the idea of the pewter colors or lighter shade of the blue for towels and accessories. I was initially considering red but that seems too nautical. Mush- this is prepasted but I used paste too. I think it makes wallpapering easier since it slides a little bit more with the paste. I think the seams are invisible; I really pressed them down good. The seams look much like the real thing does when you add each piece of the wood paneling. My towel bars are above the chair rail. I had to use the sink height as my chair rail guide. I think the wallpaper liner which someone mentioned would be a good idea to prep a tiled wall before papering, but this textured paper is quite thick compared to regular wallpaper. Order a free sample and see what you think. I personally would not put this up in a full bathroom just because I have had horrible experiences removing peeling/lifting paper that resulted from my kid's excessively long,hot,steam-laden showers. Thanks for the nice words and good towel color ideas, everyone!!...See MoreFinished up the bead board wallpaper project
Comments (20)Thank you, ALL of you, for your thoughtful tips and great decorating advice! I tried hard to learn from you and adapt this room to suite our taste and still conform to the home's older southern Low Country style, and think I succeeded. I'm still debating about building cornices, which I would cover in white fabric, for over the window and door areas, but overall, I'm delighted with the warmth of this room. Moonkat and Oceanna, the painting of the wallpaper didn't alter it much. When the paint was wet it looked as though the shadow of the beads had receded, and I didn't like that, but once the paint dried it looked normal again. It didn't even change the textured feel of the vinyl. I used a satin finish paint, and applied it with a thicker nap roller designed for semi-smooth to rough walls, thinking that the longer nap would help get the paint into those indentations the beading makes. I used a brush at the edges to make sure that all the indented parts were covered. I'm not worried about moisture in the tub area, I had paper here before and it held up beautifully through the antics of a splashing, frolicking grandson who I raised for 12 years. I've got cherished photos of him in this tub with bubbles practically overflowing on the floor...it was his favorite play area. Those days are long over, (he graduates next year.....sigh), the tub only gets used by me, and my splashing days are over! Yayagal and Allison, thanks for mentioning my DS. This is his 4th, and hopefully last tour over there. He just got married a month before he left, and I know his wife would love to have him home, too. And Brutuses, thanks for your invitation, but I've seen the photos of your new home, and your doing a beautiful job with that, all on your own! It's stunning, I especially love your new master bath....See MoreNeed pics of painted color beadboard wallpaper in breakfast area
Comments (23)The angle of that last photo definitely shows the true size of the room....thanks for posting it! I like the blinds since they give a lighter, brighter feel. But hey, that's just my opinion. : ) And.........I have to agree with Caminnc's comment about the cushions re: color vs pattern. You have a lot going on with remodeling, so waiting on the window treatment may be wise at this point. Hanging some simple panels on each side of the window, along with the blinds, would change the whole feel of the room, but I understand you wanting to stay with the current WT. I think the white is 'glaring' at you because of all the other dark colors in the area and it appears to be the only white anywhere except for the flower stand. Finish the rest of the tear-out........and the white may grow on you!...See MorePaintable beadboard wallpaper
