I got the Beadboard Wallpaper up in a day. It was super simple.
I still need to paint it white, but I'm waiting for the countertops to fully cure so that the tape won't leave any marks.
Hover over each picture for the before and after!
Before I started the process, which was so super simple, I did some research. This tutorial from Southern Hospitality was wonderful! It also boosted my confidence to be able to do the project. I also read up on Sassy Style, who also did a Beadboard Tutorial. Sassy style was using it as a backsplash, which is what I wanted to do, so again my confidence was further boosted. Both tutorials were fabulous!
With regards to how to do it...
1) Measure
2) Cut
3) Wet the back (I used the bathtub)
4) Wait 5 minutes
5) Paste it up!
6) Paint (haven't gotten to this yet)
The only issues I ran into were due to rushing through the measuring process. A few times I had to re-measure and cut, especially around the outlets. But other than that...easy! I applied white caulk to any seams that didn't match up perfectly. Now I just need to paint!

@kimberlyann Ooh that sounds FABULOUS! If we could do the meetup on a Friday that would be so perfect...I kick and punch people in the evenings Mon-Thurs... at the martial arts school :)
So fun! I love to see more pictures!
Love this! It looks great! We did something very similar over yellow, plastic tile. AH
I've been wanting to do this in my kitchen! I hate the way my kitchen looks but don't have a whole lot of options to change it (without calling in professionals), but this is one thing I could do myself!
Really cool and it looks like beadboard- bet it will look great when it's painted too. Hope you are proud, cuz your readers are :)
