When we first saw this house, we had already seen a lot of wallpaper before we got to this room, but I hadn't seen the end of it!

There was a lot of Waverly floral wallpaper in this room and it took a lot of work to get it all down, but I think the after was totally worth it.

Here's how the room was transformed:
- Removed 2 layers of wallpaper
- Had the walls re-textured as the original wallpaper was installed directly on the drywall.
- Removed popcorn ceiling and had it re-textured
- Painted all trim white
- Installed new doors
- Removed/replaced window treatments
- New paint
- Installed a ceiling fan (with light) - can you believe there were no overhead lights installed in any of the bedrooms?!
- Installed new carpet
Wow! What a transformation! Sounds like it was a lot of work! I love the after. It is so fun to see the huge change!
ReplyDeleteNice makeover!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a ton of work to get that wallpaper off. But it was so worth it! I could take a nap right now in that calm space!

ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle when I looked at your before and after pics of your home. I purchased an older home and it's amazing how it was so similar to yours. The dark cabinets (I painted white), no overhead lights in any of the bedrooms or the sitting areas (installed lights in areas), and that massive brick fireplace (I still want to give it a facelift). I looked beyond the initial appearance and saw the great potential in this older home. Just like you, the first time I saw it, it felt like home to me.
