Last night was the moment I waited. I generally don’t have much time to carry out projects on Wednesday, but I was determined to install the wallpaper in the one cabinet department before I went to bed last night. And I did it!
I had to take all the pictures last night, and I will not take pictures that were recorded this morning after the sun because I have an appointment this morning and write this update in the Pitch Dark at 6:30 a.m. So the lighting on these pictures is terrible. It is a mixture of yellow light from the ceiling fan (which looks grubby the color color) and the daylight light bulb from my working light. But even with the funky lighting, I still wanted to show you this beautiful wallpaper that was installed in this cabinet section. I will take better pictures today after I have completely finished this section and I will show them tomorrow.
In the meantime, take a look at this Tapete section!
This is the Taylor Wallpaper from Jupiter10. It is not tense and the instructions say that they should insert the wall instead of the back of the wallpaper. I used Roman Pro-555 Extreme Tack Wallpaper paste (affiliate link), which I applied with a 6-inch roller for smooth surfaces to the closet, as well as a brush to get into the corners and edges. After I used my measuring tape and straight edge to mark the placement of the first piece, which I centered on the back of the closet, I painted the paste with a brush along the upper and lower edges and then rolled the rest of the paste as gently as possible on the wallpaper with a width of wallpaper and then immediately hung the first piece of wallpaper. After the paste was switched on, I worked as soon as possible while the paste was still very wet.
I did a lot of tapetzing in my life, and that was undoubtedly the most difficult job I’ve ever done. I am so happy that I started with this section instead of the back wall in the washing machine and dryer area because I really didn’t do a great job in this section. Fortunately, I finally got the shoot when I came into the side sections, what the areas that show the most. The areas in which I really got mixed up will usually be hidden behind the mirror …hopefully.
I started with the piece in the middle of the back section and then worked from there. The second piece on the right of the first piece was a real animal. This wallpaper is much thicker than what I am used to so that this seam is perfectly lined up and then keeping the seam perfectly and trying to wrap this second piece of wallpaper around the corner and on the side of the cabinet section was a fight because I had not cut the piece to the exact length first. I learned this lesson on the hard tour. Every piece that wraps around a corner must be cut to the exact length, especially with this thick wallpaper.
So this led to a less than perfect seam that you can probably see clearly in this photo below. This terrible seam is about 12 inches to the left of the corner …
Fortunately, most of it will be hidden behind the mirror. And from a distance it is not very noticeable.
When I worked in the opposite direction and attached the other piece that had to wrap around the other corner, I did this seam much better because I first cut the piece to the exact length. But then I stepped back and noticed that I had somehow managed to scratch the edge of the first piece. So it has this white area along the edge.
If I had made this type of tallack job on the back wall of the walk -in closet, I would have been in tears in tears at that time. But here too this area is covered by the mirror in this cabinet section. So I just creeped it up to “live and learn” and tried not to dampen my excitement when I finally installed the wallpaper.
When I came to these last two outer pieces, which sewn up directly in the middle of the sides of the closet, I had a much better feeling for the wallpaper and was able to do much better work on these seams. I was so relieved because these are the seams that will actually show.
Here is a look at the other side …
And because I had to take the length, it is not perfect on the top or below. But I had already planned to put a tiny cladding on the top and soil (probably shoe stripes) after installing the wallpaper, so I wasn’t too concerned about it.
Anyway, it’s done! And even in bad lighting and even with my mistakes I love what it looks like.
It’s always so much fun to go from the concept …
… to reality and to see how a design plan takes shape …
I will not only add the shoe strap around the top, but also around the floor. So these uneven areas on the ground do not affect me. And I will wait until the mirror is hung up to see how much problem a seam will be. If something of it shows, I have to find out a solution. Because if I can see one of these seams, particularly close to the ground, where it is closer to my line of sight, she will go crazy. I have the feeling that I use a tiny artificial brush and be painted in several tailor -made colors to hide at least part of this seam. But again I will wait until the mirror is hung up to see how much of it will be necessary.
I made myself a lot better on the other side, but this seam on the back could also need some rectification. I am confident that it will not be much if the mirror will cover most of the most when I have to make improvements. This is the only reason why I am very excited about this wallpaper job instead of lying in a puddle of tears of disappointment.
Before I wallpaper the rear wall of the closet, I think that I will paint all the darkest navy blau out of the wallpaper. It has to be painted first anyway, and it is on the darkest part of the wallpaper in which the seams are most visible.
Overall, I am very excited about what it looks like. My goal is today to paint and fasten the tiny cladding on the upper and lower bottom of the wallpaper section and then install the lights and hang the mirror. And then I will put the second layer of paint on the last two cabinet sections on this right side of the room.
So if things run as planned, the cupboards on the right side of the room should be completely finished until the end of today.
And then I can start to grab and paint the cupboards on the left side of the room. The good news is that the left side should not take nearly as long as this page, since (1) there are far fewer shelves on this page, and (2) no wallpapered sections, no wall countries, no mirrors, no drawers, no necklace rods, no specialty on this page.
This side of the room has only a few shelves and many wide open rooms, which will be much easier and much faster to paint too tight.
The side of the room with the most details is almost finished!
And you have no idea how much self -control it will need so as not to charge these shelves with shoes and handbags. Last night I almost convinced myself that it would be okay for me to start this weekend because the entire construction phase is finished, and I will cover all the cupboards with plastic before I rip the floor. But the practical side of my brain (what I do Do Have, but what is generally not the strongest part of my brain) realizes that this would still put the car in front of the horse. So I collect all the self -control that I have to keep from loading this shelves until everything is finished. We will see how long this self -control will endure.
