Welcome Paint Lovers!
Last week I FINALLY got around to painting the beadboard wallpaper I hung on a wall of our family room… and boy does it make it look even more real!
Check it out…
I’m going to place a 2 1/2” board up on top of the board there to create a ledge shelf.
Doesn’t it look so real???!!!
I just used one coat of gloss white paint.
I’m working on a detailed post about my experience with beadboard wallpaper. I actually used 2 different brands on this wall (you couldn’t tell, could you?).
I can tell you I LOVE it and that I can’t wait to use it again.
And I’m updating the Ikea espresso brown panels that were hanging in the room… gotta have some burlap!
So what have you been painting???
Power of Paint Party Rules:
#1… This is a PAINT party… so pretty please, link-up only paint related projects. I HATE deleting!
#2… Please put my nifty POPP button (you can find it up in my menu bar’s BUTTONS) in your blog post or a link back to this party somewhere on your blog… that way others from your blog can check out all the paint projects too.
#3… Share the Love… visit the other paint pals.
It's amazing how real it looks! Love it!! Thanks for hosting Maryann!

The wallpaper looks just like the real thing! I might have to try this for my girls' bathroom. Was it easy to apply? Looking forward to your post on the details. Thanks for hosting!
I love that you can have beadboard without using a power saw and nails!
The wallpaper looks great! I love that stuff…I used it on my mantle and my cabinets! I am curious which brand you used….I used Graham Brown…I'll be back to see your post on the +'s and -'s….Thanks for hosting!
The 'power of paint' saved me in my $0 bathroom makeover!
alright! i've used paint on something, lol, i'm so excited to link up here. i hardly ever get to.
Maryann,
I have this paper in my kitchen!
Isn't is awesome? Easy and pretty.
Our Master Bath tub surround is about to get a papering with the leftovers, too
I shared my post (#69) about how I store my leftover paint from my projects, I'm hoping it's considered "paint-related"
I love these parties of yours and I'm sure I have a jar or two of paint that can be used for some of the ideas shown today, like #16 and #30!
Thank you!
HUGS and blessings to you!

You really can't tell that it is wallpaper at all! Great job! Thanks for hosting!
Thanks so much for hosting…I love your beadboard wall paper, I didn't know such a thing existed. It looks so real, I would have had no idea if you didn't mention it.
Hope you're have a great week…take care
That wallpaper looks just like the real thing! I might have to try this for my room, I think it is very easy to apply. Looking forward to your post on the details.
