Here we go...
It looks beautiful finished...
But oh, dear God ~ What a project it was in the begining...
What I had to start with was a "half-finished" sort of managerie...
See, my better half had 'half' finished this place before he moved in with me and well, it just never got completed...
As some know, I am the worlds cheapest, cheap-skate~!
I enjoy spending my pennies on furniture and embelishments for my homes. So, with that in mind, I had some peach paneling in the laundry area... I had some 'unfinshed' drywall areas, some finished and painted areas and some big leaks in the roof~ yikes!
The man child must have had an obsession with 'peach' at some point in the past.
Various & multiple shades of peach, by-the-way, all over this house~!
I HATE peach... lol
Of course, the money went into shingling above the room and repairing the leaks, so I was left with a very tight budget for this room. Whenever there's a tightening of the purse strings, I dig out my supplies, lay them out and make do.... Yes, I still had rolls and rolls of paper from the living room leather redo, so I devised a plot and a plan to cover the whole porch ~ the painted areas, the paneling, the unfinished drywall... Why finish it with joint compound, or italian plasters, when I could get the same effect with cheap paper~!
I only had enough joint compound in my stash to fill in the paneling cracks and unlevel areas between half-finished wall treatments. And, I am way too lazy to run to the store. This is a rural area and running to town is 17 miles round trip. For joint compound?
I think not~!
So we began, with what we had and plotted accordingly...
We = me and my multiple personalities, of course~!
