About 3 months after we officially began tearing apart our breakfast nook walls in our kitchen, we have finally finished! Here are some before, during, and after photos. We are so happy with the results!
The first photo shows the wallpaper and border that was on the walls from the previous owner. Its funny I have a picture of Tim working on this, because I was the one who did most of the removal! (Yay me!) I told Tim he is going to have to start taking some of the pictures so that I can show my face :)
The second photo shows Tim texturing the wall. This was such a huge task and we really had no clue what we were doing, but it turned out great! We used a product from Home Depot called Behr Texture Paint (Smooth). Its pretty thick, plaster-like stuff that you slather on the wall and mold however you wish.
The third photo shows the wall after we had textured, primed and then painted it with Behr paint in "Red Stone".
The 4th & 5th photos show the finished product! We ragged on a Ralph Lauren glaze tinted with the color "Stable Brown". We finished it with a polyurethane glaze to help protect it and harden the texture.
This was a big undertaking but we love it so much more than the grape wallpaper that was here before. We hope you like it too! You can also see a nice view of our new dining set from World Market. No more eating on TV tray's for us! At least not ALL the time ;)
On a non-decorative note, Tim and I will be celebrating our 1st anniversary next Sunday! I can't believe how quickly this first year has gone by. We will try to take a nice picture of us and post it next week! Hope you all are doing well! We miss all of you!
