So I just looked at some of the threads and realize that I hadn't considered whether this would be appropriate for the house/room. We have an American four-square that is nearly 10 years old. Unfortunately, we did not pay much attention to maintaining a certain style when furnishing the house. We just bought furniture and decorations we liked. Our dining room, where the beadboard wallpaper would go, is Queen Anne (at least that room is consistent), and it's just boring. We want to put the wallpaper about 1/3 of the way up the wall, with a chair rail. I do think it would look nice, but is that a bad fit with Queen Anne furniture and in a four-square? The thing is, we can't do anything too ornate b/c the dining room and living room are attached, and the living room is more casual. I thought beadboard would strike the right note. We did consider wainscoting, but that would be a bit of a pain to install. Also like some of the other paintable wallpaprs, but fear they are either (1) too ornate when compared to the living room or (2) too casual for the dining room. Help!

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!

I saw the bead board wall paper yesterday. Infact it had lots of different styles. When walking past it I began to think about the sides of my cabinet and sides of my island and thought...this would be perfect there. So that's what I plan on doing too. I can't wait to see your project finished. Oh and my island has no water and the stove sits in it, no seating in my island. I would probably do the mdf board if i had searing under my island. Same with the side of my cabinet. No water over there either. Love the statement,,really what do you have to loose by trying it. If it gets all mucky in a couple of years..change it

Hi, to all of you! It's Rhoda, from Southern Hospitality & I'm so happy to see this post & the other one talking about the beadboard wallpaper. I loved it SO much, I added it to my online shop, so thank you Moccasinlanding for mentioning my blog & shop! I so appreciate any of you who have ordered from me. It's been my biggest seller and I can't say enough good things about the product. I'm so happy that so many of you have used it successfully too. Please feel free to come on over to my blog & browse the beadboard projects! I've been thrilled with everything I've done with it. I love the kitchen cabinets that I saw in the other post too, great way to update a kitchen. And yes, as mentioned, I've seen some other versions of beadboard wallpaper, but the Graham Brown UK version that I have in my shop is the BEST! No comparison at all. The others don't look real and this one does. I'll add a link to my shop too. Thanks so much! Here is a link that might be useful: Beadboard wallpaper
