Last-minute Help! Wall-papered bathroom and granite
Comments (2)I'm not clear if you've replaced the vanities, which do need replacing if you're going to the expense of new granite, sink, and faucet. I don't see why you'd want to make those permanent, expensive changes based around a design scheme of outdated peach wallpaper....See Moreadvice needed: wallpaper
Comments (2)Thank you for responding. Actually, it's not a pocket door--the door will lie flush with the wall. Initially I was just looking to add texture (via some type of wallpaper before I found the paintable variety) to the one wall with the door to camoflage (sp?) it even more but my husband thinks the room is too small for that and it's best to keep all walls the same.

Comments (13)If you spend the time you can great results with restoring plaster, but its a tedious job at best. However, you will also get satisfaction from doing a restoration instead of a demolish and replace. Different plaster techniques and final coats were used over the years and like any other job it depends on the quality of builder. Plaster coat thicknesses and the quality of the final finish will not be consistent. In some cases they also used a final finish over the plaster that looks like lightweight wallpaper, so that they could get a smooth wall for the visible paint or wallpaper. If the final coat of plaster is uneven/thin and you are exposing the brown coat, there is a lot more restoration work required for those areas. If its in that condition over a large area, it might be better to remove the plaster and replace with drywall or blue board.

Comments (24)Be warned Spoonflower wallpaper isnt a straight match. You have to overlap it to get it to match. My wallpaper person , who has hung wallpaper for 34 years, told me he would never hang it again. His words were its cheap (&@*. Just throwing that out there before you go and fall in love with something which is easy to do on the site....See Morebonnaccra
