Ever had that “uh-oh” moment when the wallpaper you painstakingly installed just doesn’t vibe with your space? ???? Well, one of my amazing clients experienced exactly that – over 800 square feet of “not quite right” colors staring back at her. But hey, guess who swooped in to save the day? Yep, yours truly! ???? You’re not going to believe this transformation. It was magical!

This magical process lets you cover up those darker areas while adding a hint of transparency. And the best part? A little goes a long way! I mean, I used just about a quart of Limestone paint for the whole shebang. ????

Curious about how it’s done? Easy-peasy! Take a tablespoon of the lime paint, add a spritz of water to dilute it, dip your artist brush, and voila! Paint away on those areas you want to transform. Need more coverage? Add a touch more paint, simple as that!

Watch this quick video to see how easy it really is!

But wait, there’s more! Once we kissed the brown and gold goodbye, guess who showed up uninvited? Silver! Yup, peeking through and adding that extra oomph to the space. Sneaky, but totally fabulous. ????
