When I redid our eat-in area, the area behind the bench was always lacking something. I wanted board and batten or bead board, but that would involve changing out molding and everything else.. what was a girl to do?
When I came across this product on Rhoda's blog, I was overjoyed and had to try it for myself... it's beadboard wallpaper. I applied it, added wood trim, painted it and...
Voila!
The perfect solution to the perfect space! I'm hooked on it!
For more projects visit Kimba's DIY Thursday and Wendy's Frugal Friday!
You can also head over to Julia's for her Hooked on Friday's!!!
And I'll give you the project details tomorrow and join me on Saturday the 25th for the make over open house show off your make-overs and DIY!

Looks like the real thing! Great solution with out having to tear out the baseboard molding. Love the mirror too!

It looks beautiful! I have my wallpaper sitting on my kitchen counter ready to be hung. Can't wait to see how my own will look after seeing how great your nook turned out!
ReplyDeleteI have real bead board in my kitchen and breakfast room and I would never guess that yours was wallpaper!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
it's so fun to see someone else's. As soon as I saw Rhodas, I was thrilled because I had already started planning on putting bead board on my island. Wallpaper it is!!
ReplyDeleteI've been on the fence about putting this under my chair rail in the kitchen (thought I might just paint it white instead) but you've convinced me this is the way to go! Can you send me a link on where you ordered yours from? My e-mail is judy36109@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteWe're off to the beach today until Sunday but I'm planning on ordering the beadboard paper when I get back.
Thanks!
Judy

ReplyDeleteHey, Jen! I'm so glad you tried it too, isn't it the best stuff to work with? I'm totally going to put it in my masterbath and my blue bathroom too. It looks so real, no one will know the difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking me!
Looks amazing...I saw that on Rhoda's blog also. You may have inspired me to do my bathroom!
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Rhoda's blog and have been considering it for cabinet door inserts. I was going to use real bead board on my entry walls. Now that I have seen it on your wall, the heck with the real thing. Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!! I thought it was real beadboard. I too LOVE beadboard. If you visit my Blog and click on "MY HOME" you'll see my entire kitchen is beadboard. It adds an elegance yet a homey, comfort feeling too. It's the perfect accent and goves a cozy cottage feel.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll visit me!

I loved your look so much that today I went and priced various beadboards myself and decided on using the wallpaper type. We have the exact same milkglass bowl to. LOL-Great taste:)
ReplyDeleteAMAZING transformation! It makes a HUGE difference. The color of your wall looks so much brighter. I love it! Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeleteTraci
Lovin' it Jen! It looks great! We used bead board in our old house and I've been itching to use it somewhere in the new house. I may have to try this out.

Amanda

I love beadboard! I'm in the process of covering every wall in my house with it, but with beadply, not the wallpaper. My walls are just way to wonky to put paper onto. I love the way yours turned out, you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Transformation Thursday!
That is stunning! I enlarged the last picture -- the beadboard wallpaper is a RINGER for the real thing. I'm impressed! Fantastic. Now I'm looking for places I can use it. . . . do you think it will stand up to a bit of humidity in a bathroom?
ReplyDeleteCass
Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool idea!
ReplyDeletethe beadpaper looks great. adds the perfect touch to that area.
ReplyDeletethanks for taking the time to comment on my dresser & visit me -

I totally remember this from Rhoda's! You made it work soooooo well. I am very, very tempted. Maybe I'll start with my mini powder room so I don't try too hard to overachieve. :-)
