Finished 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 MoreI really detest removing old wallpaper
Comments (24)Hi All, Beachlily-Glad to help a fellow GW. Prill-You have incredible taste but you've heard me gush about your kitchen. Love that paint choice. Bee-lol. I love that your DS is in Art school and colored blind. Watch him be the next Picasso! Well not with chasing women but with art. elle3- I am all over the place because I have another bathroom that needs to be updated too. DH realizes how great disappearing wallpaper looks and has encouraged me to tackle that next. I need my fingernails to grow back first. Chris-I checked out the rustoleum. Yes, this a possibility. thank you. Arsy- When I get back from my business trip I will post pics of the space and you will laugh uproariously at the hideous wallpaper. Lukkiirish- I checked out Martha Stewart. Pretty colors. Truly pretty. Now what??? help me I am going to keep the wood as is. Because I have another bathroom with the exact same wood that I am going to stain darker a chocolate color. DH is on board with this. I found an inspiration pic and of course the above pics helped tremendously. Thank you for your photoshop and for your own bath pics. I went to Khols today and found marked down these bath rugs. I have no idea the quality but the fact they are a 100% cotton appealed to me and they were super cheap. I also bought matching towels in the light sea green color. Then after I went to HomeDepot. Light fixtures were butttt ugly. I can not see spending $100 on something I only tolerate. I am going to search on line. What do you think? Which paint looks better with the cabs? (Stupidly I picked the colors up before writing them down... I think it is in this order milk pail ML, rainwater, perfect taupe, winter's day and frozen pond Frozen Pond Behr Winter's Day Martha Stewart Perfect Taupe Behr Rain Water ML Milk Pail ML The cabs look so orange in the pic they are far more yellow. Or should I chuck these all and go back to something more blue and less sea glass. I am thinking for the downstairs bath Black, pale blue and white will be the prevailing them so this bath more beach glass classic cottage look... Any ideas would be awesome. ~boxer...See MoreShower “wet” wallpaper is up

Comments (66)Imp1959, I got the towel bars, sconces and faucets on Amazon. I can try to get some links up tomorrow. I will show some shower pics after I clean it. We turned off the water at the street to change the valves under the sink and the damned valve knob at the street seized up, the broke off. so now we have no water and they wont come after hours to fix it since we are the ones who turned it off. So I will clean the shower tomorrow and take pictures....See Moresochi
