Beadboard…or is it?
May 15, 2010
I have slowly changed our kitchen from what it is to what I want. I started with spray painting the light hanging over the table and the cabinet knobs. Two cans of spray paint later, they went from brass to brushed nickel. I’m planning on painting the walls, but I’m still talking Jon into the color I want.
I have always had a thing for beadboard. I wanted it around our bar and at the end of the cabinets. I found out that there is beadboard looking wallpaper. It’s textured to resemble the grooves in beadboard. I headed out to Lowe’s and pick up a roll. I’m really happy with the results. It’s paintable too so you could make it any color you want. I wanted it white. I painted some, but haven’t finished it yet. The wallpaper comes prepasted and goes up really easy. It’s hard to see it in these pictures, but here are my before and after pictures.
Now I just need some new paint, floors, appliances, sink, counters and cabinet fronts. I’m slowly getting there!

What a difference something like beadboard (or a look alike!) makes! Looks great — I may have to think about doing that in my kitchen!
