Hi. This is my front door and stairs leading to the second floor. I started my renovation by wallpapering the wall with faux brick. I love the way it looks.
Today I just finished wallpapering this wall. It is the 2nd step in redoing the interior of my home that we brought 20 years ago. I am going for the rustic country look. I can use your input.
this is the living room. Help
this is my living/dining room it is 12 x 24 this is what you see when you walk in my home. UGH!!! I am planning on doing the same floor in the dining room and kitchen that is in the living room.
In our kitchen I would like to paint the cabinets, redo the countertops and of course paint. The floor plan for the kitchen is 9 x 12

    Your wallpaper looks great. I had to do a double-take! Here are some great pics and posts on Hometalk and Pinterest, to get ideas. Click on the links below.

  • Cute house! Love the wallpaper. Mine is even smaller - no dining room (which I desperately miss), here are my ideas. Since you are going for a rustic look, I would repaint, take your time choosing colors. Use the brick wallpaper as your guide, draw the colors from that. In the 3rd and 4th pictures, I would add decorative corbels in opening between the living and dining room. I would also add a simple crown molding. Depending on what you choose for paint, make sure it will compliment your flooring. Take samples of everything with you when you shop.

    I would trim the door way between front room & dinning room so rooms can be different colors if choose. Love your wallpaper. What I need in my kitchen. I would paint kitchen then see if cabinets need to be painted. Good luck & merry christmas

    I think your biggest decision is - do you change the wooden fixtures to match your stone wall o- should you paint them when you repaint the walls. new laminate flooring diy will get rid of any problem with floor colour. Cheap as chips ! Great way to start - love it.

    Like wallpaper, would stain staircase using dark color from wallpaper for rustic look. Agree, use wallpaper as guide for wall colors. Would go w light walls, can use accents for rustic look. Hope that helps! Good luck!
