Hoorah! I made it to the finish line of the six week One Room Challenge. I was able to completely finish the project on time, even though it was just a couple of hours before we were hosting a party for 50 people at our house!
To say that I am tickled pink with the results would be an understatement! Let’s review what it looked like before.
I don’t switch things up very often and after nearly 30 years I have finally tired of this look. The first step, and by far the most tedious and time consuming was removing the old wallpaper.
A considerable amount of time was spent prepping the walls with spackling and a fresh coat of paint before I applied the P Kauffman “Malawi” fabric to the walls for wallpaper.
I used wallpaper paste to apply the fabric to the walls just as I would wallpaper. I painted the walls behind the fabric and below the chair rail with Valspar “Pam’s Lace.”
I switched out the brass chandelier for this crystal one and gave the mirror a fresh coat of Liquid Gold.
I also made new silk window treatments and covered the chair seats in a beautiful velvet.
This is the view from the foyer that I did last year. You can see that project by clicking here.
I am so pleased with the results! I hope you will click over to Calling It Home to the other projects.

Love your new window treatments. The extra band of pink is really nice with the velvet chairs!
It turned out beautifully... and I love the English Cottage style that fabric-wallpaper imbued to the room... very pretty.

I love it!!! And how cool that you did the walls in the fabric but used paste - I have always wondered how that's done! It looks amazing! Great job!!!!
