Here is before photo of our bathroom. A lovely yellow and orange floralish wallpaper! Not my cup of tea…..so I decided to paint it a beautiful turqoise color and started the project while my hubby was away on a business trip.
I got almost all done……… and then….I threw my back out! My hubby loved it and finished it for me. We just simply painted two coats of Behr paint (which we love love love) from Home Depot. We did not prime it, or do anything else to the wall paper…except glue any loose areas where the wallpaper was coming up.
Let me know what you think of the transformation….
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
LOVE IT! The paint color is FAB. I love that you painted RIGHT OVER THE WALLPAPER! Why wouldn't I have thought of that???? and the JARS....so yummy!
HOLY SCHMOLY... What a HUGE transformation... It's beautiful!
Beautiful! Would love to know the name of the color.
Oh my gosh...your bathroom is stunning!! What a transformation!! I would love to feature it on my blog in the near future...I am utterly speechless at how beautiful everything turned out. Let me know if you are interested in showing it off more!

Karen, I am out of town right now and will be back on Saturday. I will post the name of color once I return back home. It is truly one of the best colors I have found!!
Just the color I've been looking for! Can you tell me the name of it? It's just beautiful!!!!
I like the before.....but the after is fabulous... I love it! You did a wonderful job, the color is just wonderful.
Love the new paint color. Glad to know you were able to paint over the wallpaper--I may need to do that on my kitchen walls someday. I put the wallpaper on and used lots of glue, so know it probably wouldn't come off easily! Love your jars and the tiered stands too. TFS. Kay
