Our entryway includes 3 little walls: the stair wall, the coat wall, and the door wall. I was able to get the door wall done so I thought I would share.
That part of my living room is so dark. Eventually we need a door with a window in it.
Before
I had some bead board wall paper left and white paint from our kitchen cabinets to brighten it up until then, and the unfinished pine board was about $4
After
I love how clean and bright it looks now. My only mishap was running out of wallpaper paste near the end. Thank goodness for white school glue.
It's amazing what a difference a little bit of paint makes.

It looks great, it did add a lot!
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed that was wallpaper. It really looks like the real thing! Would you mind if I asked what brand or where you purchased it? The green on the bench....gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Beadboard, right?! Always saves the day! (Stalking a bench just like that for my entry way on CL as we speak- LOVE!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great look. I love the green against the white. Very pretty:)
