Playroom Project
Eric and I decided to do some house projects while he has these two weeks off over the holidays. We had found this rip and stick wall paper on clearance at Lowes and thought it would be a fun color for the kids' playroom. We began yesterday around 11:30 and finished up about 11:30 last night. It was more work than we had anticipated-- as always! We also had a challenge at the end-- although we had bought plenty of the product, I opened the last roll with us just having 1/4 of our last wall to do and a little above the door and we were shocked to find that there was NO GLUE on the back! Since we bought it on clearance over a month ago we thought we really going to have a problem. I suggested we use wallpaper paste to finish up the remaining and Eric wanted to call around and try and find some more of it somewhere. Since it was 10:30 pm we would have to finish the next day no matter what. Then I had a thought-- what if some of that last roll had some glue on it. We rolled it all out and Eric was able to detect that a small portion of the roll did indeed have some of the glue on. It was just enough to finish our room! Thank goodness! We had a piece of wall paper left smaller than a 8X11 piece of paper but it was what we needed. I'll post more photos of the room after we hang curtains and decorate a bit.
