Hi Rhoda –

This “THANKS” is long overdue. My husband’s retirement brought us to our daughter’s lovely spot in the woods – but into a non-descript single-wide mobile home. Which we promptly began converting into a sweet little cottage! One of our favorite fixes was using your beadboard wallpaper tutorial on the typical, cheapo kitchen cabinets. We “beaded” the insert portion of the doors and all end cabinets. Then we painted them a darkish tan and finished with a brown Minwax stain. Very “prim” looking – warm, but not dark – and we love them! We also did the 2 bathrooms, one in the same country tan and the other in a nice warm green. We painted/stained the mirror trim too. Little by little we’re getting rid of the ‘fakey trailer wood look”!

I believe this type of project is almost custom made for cheapo trailer cabinets. It also works wonders on customizing the back of your basic (boring) bookcases, picture frames, etc. The paper has an awesome quality!

So again, this is my belated but sincere THANKS! I’ve been so amazed and delighted by the generosity of so many talented women in Blogland the past couple of years. Y’all have inspired me to “go for it” and to discover, in my 50s, that I AM talented and artistic! That has been a huge awakening……now, if I could only retire from my job and loooong commute…..I would be a fulltime crafting fool! Cheers!

Hi, Amy, it is great paper, but I do not think you could stain it at all. Sorry, I can’t see it working in that type setting. Painting it is great, but no stain.

I really love what you did with the beadboard wallpaper. It looks awesome! My question is, would it be possible to stain this wallpaper? I have oak cabinetry, and would love to use the wallpaper instead of messing with real beadboard, but am stumped as to how I could get it to match my wood. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

What about putting this on your fridge and dishwasher for a custom built in look! That would be awesome!

This turned out gorgeous! Just stumbled across your site via a Google search on “beadboard kitchen island” as we are in the process of creating our own, and blogs like yours have been an inspiration and a good how-to source for me. Thanks for all your pics and LOVE how yours turned out!!

I want to do this over my tile backsplash. Any ideas on whether or not I can apply it directly to the tile?

Looks really good. I’m getting ready to re-do our kitchen and have been planning on adding beadboard panels to the cabinets ends. I’m so impressed by how real that wallpaper looks, it makes me reconsider! Great job!
