We have been in the house for almost 6 weeks. I have accomplished 2 bedrooms and I'm pretty thrilled with the outcome. First, let me say I will never wallpaper again! Second, I will never wallpaper again alone. It was super difficult to do by myself but I was too impatient to wait for hubby to get home from work. Plus we are not on the same days anyway. If I waited for that it still wouldn't be done.
So I ordered the paper and paint from lowes. I papered the wall with less obstruction, like windows and closets and what not.
Valspar paint has been good to me thus far so I went with an eggshell stone mason gray color. Depending on the time of day it can look blue. I just picked up some panels from home goods. Here is the before and afters----->>
Also right now there is nothing on the walls in our bedroom. It was my intentions to hang something over the bed, but the headboard is super high and now withe damask print wallpaper i was thinking it would be too busy. I plan on hanging a horizontal canvas over the tall dresser and then a vertical next to the long one. The bar walls are driving me insane.
Of course occupying Eli was no eat feat. At one point I had laid down the paper on the floor, applied the paste, and who comes walking in? He stepped on the paper and slid, from the paste, about 10 ft. Looked like he was on a slip an slide. Eli also managed to steal the paint brush and dip his ear in the paint can! I'm in desperate need of a bedroom break, so April and May will focus on the yard, garden, and updating patio furniture. I even plan on making a pallet table for some plants.
