Perfect Match - One room complete

The room sounds cool. When it's done you might consider putting a picture up here at myLot.

I think it's awesome that you can hang wallpaper. I've seen comedies of people trying to hang wallpaper and getting it all botched up. (I think it was "I Love Lucy".)

Hi ellie,

I'm bet it will look nice once its all done, I have done any DIY for years and hubby is pretty useless so I will have to ask my friend to help me out when I do mine but I haen't thought doing any yet. Love and huggles.

I don't know about that! Cheers to your younger daughters' bedroom! You are so considerate! I don't know how to decorate the rooms. Others just do the job! So, I have never just thought about the decoration thing! This is the reason that I will never become a designer or something like that.
My sister's major is costume designing thought it is quite different from decoration.
They are both sort of designing. Anyway,she is more pfofessional.

What an excellent idea for decorating children's rooms, no matter what their ages! Would be good for boys too, just with a different color than pink. Now I wish my son was younger, I'd love to do it in his room. Oh heck! I'd like to be younger and have MY room that way! Looking forward to pictures when you get familiar with your new camera!

Sounds cool. The last DIY project? Moving to California, things worked out okay, we had to ditch some stuff but we got here with the things we needed.

I'm glad that it all worked out really well for you. I have never tried to hang it myself either. I heard it is very hard to do.

Hi ellie333

Well done you! When do you want to come around and help me do mine? I am useless at DIY. Have lived in my house nearly 2 years and it hasn't had as much as a lick of paint! I have put some tile transfer tiles in the kitchen and bathroom but that is about it. A friend of mine has offered me some left over red paint to do a wall in my dining area so I am waiting for her to bring that around and rope her in to helping me do it!! Hope all is well with you X

i'm glad that you found the right paper, it can be a pain choosing wallpaper. you can come and do mine next...lol

i painted all of my mums wood a couple of weeks ago, doors, frames and skirting boards. i don't mind painting but i'm not so keen on wallpapering especially patterned paper so you have my respect.

it's worth the effort in the end though, i love getting a decorating job done then looking at it and seeing the difference that it's made.

So your DIY project is finishing soon. I just can't wait to see pictures, use that camera and click3x.. . I'm sure it's going to be one big gorgeous project once it's done.

I tried to do an accent wall. My living room is painted off white. I watched a show on TV (not good) and it looked so easy. I decided to paint the wall behind my TV. I went to the store and choose a color and painted the wall. It looked great after I had painted a majority of the wall. Then I had to paint where the walls come together and where the wall meets the ceiling. I went back to the store and bought several "edge" painting items and tried using a compound that the man at the store said would stop it from bleeding over. The edges are done, but I still do not like the way they look. That is my problem with DIY. I always know where I screwed up. It probably looks fine to everyone else, but the edges still drive me crazy every time I look at them.
