My First Beadboard Wallpaper Project....

Have you ever heard of beadboard wallpaper????

I hadn't either.

But when I did, I knew I just HAD to try it out.  I have always wanted beadboard in my childrens' bedrooms, but because of my lack of knowledge on how to use any kind of power tool, I could only enjoy beadboard in other peoples' houses.....

Until I heard about beadboard wallpaper.

Not just beadboard wallpaper, but PAINTABLE beadboard wallpaper!!!!

You can get it at Lowe's for about $15 a roll.

You hang it up like normal wallpaper....and once it's dry you can paint it any color you want!

 I wanted to try this out....I've never hung wallpaper before in my life, so I tried out a small space in my laundry room to see how it looked.

I LOVE the way it turned out....

I measured the wall and bought a piece of trim (and had the guy at Lowe's cut it for me, since I am not power-tool savy). I think the trim was around $5.

I also bought a few hooks for about $2 a piece....

For this project, I just threw a quick coat of white paint on it (even though it was already an off-white color, I wanted it to POP off the walls)

I also hung up this bulletin board for messages or notes...even though I haven't used it yet..


There's no room in my house for a mudroom (which I would LOVE to have), but this really helps keeps things neat and organized as we walk in and out of the house.


I am also using the wallpaper in Brooke's new shelves in her room....they are still not complete, but here's a peek at what they are looking like....(I painted these a chocolate brown)...

Hoping to show you her new shelves sometime later this week...

Have a great Monday!!!!!!!!!!!
