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. 🎨
