We purchased my grandmother's house after she passed away, it is super special to me. It is an older house with great bones and unfortunately layers and layers of wallpaper!!
I took my trusty spray bottle with hot water and Downy and started in taking off the wallpaper. Isnt it pretty?
I should have taken out my daughter's bunkbed, too much work, sorry call me lazy!!
I am not a math person. So I wish I could give you the figures on how I worked out these stripes. I kinda fudged the whole thing. I went around with a paint stick and measured out the stripes and when it came to a corner, I just adjusted my stripes and you cant even tell!!
First I painted the whole room pink, marked off my stripes with chalk and then taped off the inside of the stripes to paint the white stripe. Let it dry. Re=tape and then added the purple. It took a good day to do, but I love how it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by!!
The stripes looks wonderful - wallpaper is so much work!
ReplyDeleteWow! I know your arms had to be a tad bit sore after that. The stripes turned out great!My daughter also wanted a pink room so we gave her one. But I like how the stripes give it some depth.
