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!
