If there is one product that I’ve DIY’d and have been ecstatic with, it has to be beadboard wallpaper. And not just any beadboard wallpaper, but the UK Graham Brown Wall Doctor version. That’s the only one that I would even consider using. It looks just like the real thing, no joke!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve opened up a new online shop and my very first product will be the beadboard wallpaper!
Last year, I was a part of Open Sky and had several items in there, the biggest seller being my famous Graham Brown beadboard wallpaper. I loved offering it in the shop since I had such a great experience with it. I’m all about sharing a fantastic product when I find it and beadboard wallpaper is definitely one of those.
The prepasted version is back by popular demand! I do think that after hearing some of us whine about it, Graham Brown listened and brought back the original.
Why mess up a good thing, I say!
The Graham Brown version is very substantial, is also pre-pasted and goes up like a charm. I have used it in several applications in my old house in AL, with great results.
Of course, it looks fantastic with chairrail installed on top and the great thing is, that it sits on top of the existing baseboard so no need to take that out and start over. I used it successfully in my former masterbath.
I first used it on the ends of my kitchen cabinets and I loved the custom look it gave them. I also trimmed them out with molding and that really made it look like the real thing.
I do believe I’ll be using it in my own bathroom redo which I’ll be working on next month at my parent’s house. It’s a great way to add architectural interest to a blah space and that one is blah!
It is just a great product with great results and I’m thrilled to be partnering with Graham Brown in offering it to my readers.
Of course, you can buy it for the same price through a number of retailers, but I sure would appreciate you buying from my new shop if you want to try it. I will earn a small commission and that will help me with my business.
So, in case you missed it the first time, I hope you’ll consider trying it out. It’s a great alternative to cutting your own wood and installation is a breeze. I highly recommend it. I’ve gotten several emails lately asking me about it, so I am happy to be offering it to all of you.
Go on over to my new shop to ORDER! It should walk you through easily with shipping added and tax for those in GA. That’s the only thing in there right now, but I hope to add new products in the future too. I couldn’t wait to get this one in there first!
If there is anything you can think of that you’d like to see in my shop, feel free to put it in the comments. I’d love to find some other unique items to add later.
Thanks for your support, I truly appreciate it!

I love it Rhoda. I’ve wanted to use it under the kitchen cabinets at the condo and wondered how much I might need. Tiny kitchen, so one roll I am thinking. Will hop on over and order one and see what happens.:-)
All the best with this!!!

THANK YOU Rhoda, I will jump right over there and get some!! Hope you had a great weekend.

Maybe I missed it but I need to know how much is on a roll……? Please

Can you describe this paper a little bit? Is it heavy and kind of rigid?
Laura says
I love the look of this stuff, but I have a question. A friend of mine put some up in her house (pretty sure it wasn’t Graham & Brown), and I could see that if it got a sharp indentation in it, like from a fingernail, that indentation stayed forever. I’m considering putting this in my daughter’s bathroom and am wondering if it will stand up to kids.
La says
I just ordered a roll! I wanted to add beadboard to my breakfast room with a chair rail, but realy didn’t want to spend the money. This is the perfect solution.
Best of luck with your new endeavor! La

this is JUST what my bathroom needs! Wondering how much is on a roll? Thank you so much
Rhoda says
Hi, girls, I went back & edited the description for how much is on a roll, and width etc. There is 32.8 feet per roll, so try to figure out from that how much you will need. I did a small bathroom with one roll and used about 1/2 on my kitchen cabinet ends. You should be able to measure your wall space that you’re using the wallpaper on and depending on how high your chairrail is, figure the amount from there. It is 20.5 inches wide.
Those asking about durability, it could be a bit tricky if you have wild children running into it, I will tell you that. Under normal circumstances, I don’t think it would be a problem, but the paper is very thick, almost foamy like where the ridges are, so yes it will dent if something hits it or knocks against it. I don’t think it would be too bad though, unless kids are rough with it. I didn’t have any issues in my kitchen or bathroom at all, except for a doorknob wanting to dent it. I ended up putting a door stop up to keep that from happening.
Laura says
This wallpaper looks amazing on the wall and I’ve recently put it on my cabinets, BUT it swells so it is very hard to measure exactly. I measured it to fit the cabinet exactly, then soaked and followed the instructions and when I put it up, the wallpaper had expanded. It doesn’t shrink back up when it dries, so I just had to do a lot of trimming. I didn’t like that extra step, but the overall look was worth it to me. I have five small children, so I’m anxious to see if it handles the wear, but I noticed that my fingernail indented the surface several times and it eventually faded away.

I would love to try this in my bathroom! My only concern is how it will look with the color of the existing woodwork. Can I paint the beadboard wallpaper to match?

Rhoda, I just had to come by and say Congrats on opening your very own shop!!! That is wonderful, I wish you much success, sweet friend,Kathysue
Jane says
I love this wallpaper! I used it on the bottom of my kitchen cabinets and on the backsplash. It definitely looks like the real deal. I love working with it, too. It’ so easy to use and as you said, it’s prepasted. I am thinking of using it in the upstairs bathroom.

So how do your “sponsors” feel about paying you to advertise your product? It seems a bit off, donchathink? I came to the blog because of the thrift parties to see the links….instead you’re constantly advertising?
Losing followers here….
Rhoda says
Arlen, do you really feel the need to rain on my parade? Really??
Melanie J says
This really looks amazing and totally beats all the cutting with a saw. Great idea…thanks for sharing and inspiring!

So excited about this. I’m going to use it in my basement kitchenette makeover with chair rail and SW Sea Salt on the walls above it.
Amelia@ Home Decors says
Thanks for the tip Rhoda. I was just looking for a nice wallpaper for my bedroom. I’m planning to redecorate it this summer. I went to a local store here in Manchester, New Hampshire and they said they’ve never heard of the “UK Graham Brown Wall Doctor” version. Perhaps the lady attendants were not familiar with it.
I’m going to travel to Concord this weekend and try to order one from there.
