We’ll start with the Before pics…
Wallpaper with big fruit and leaves. Lovely.Â
I had finally had enough.
The During pictures…
adding a coat of Kilz on top of the wallpaper. We learned the hard way a while back that the wallpaper in this house was put DIRECTLY on the sheetrock. Taking it down wasn’t an option.Â
Lainey painted the area behind our fridge. She loved painting.
And, my favorite…the After!
Earthy Sage replaces hideous wallpaper. Ignore the cabinet above the fridge without a door…we got that back on later.Â
We’re beyond pleased with how it turned out…I never realized how much I disliked the wallpaper until I saw our kitchen without it! The room is much more calming now, and so less BUSY! Yea for us! :)

LOVE IT!!!!! I agree…the wallpaper was a bit busy now that I see the results of the paint…wow!! You guys did a great job and I love the color! The white trim compliments it even more. Don’t ya just love it when something comes together like that?! The cabinets even look whiter. Yea for ALL of you!!!!

It came out great!! Wish we had known that we could have painted over our wallpaper!! We ended up ruining walls and repairing them before we could paint. Our builder put in directly on the sheetrock too. I love seeing all the kids painting!! :)
