The transformation you’re about to see is a beautiful! transformation right before your eyes! Pretty but outdated wallpaper to light beautiful simplicity. That’s the results of the hard working team at With a Grateful Prayer and a Thankful Heart.
Here it is before:
Lucky L – the wallpaper came off in less than 2 hours for her!

| Wallpaper – gone! |
After stripping the wallpaper and scrubbing the walls, she have spackled and primed the walls, painted the walls and gave all of the trim two fresh coats of paint. I love the new color and fresh white trim!
These once carpet covered stairs got a new look! Don’t you love the detail? So unique and pretty!
But L cracks me up! The design reminds her of a peering man with a mustache after staring at the design so often while applying it. Things like that happen to me too! She couldn’t live with twelve angry men looking at her each time she went up the steps, so she covered it all up with primer and paint, re-measured the center and stamped them with this pretty fleur de lis.
Some more DIY skills, creative thinking and finishing touches (see her original post here)…
Looks like a photo straight out of House Beautiful to me. Don’t you love the fresh new updated look? I love her decorating and accents. Walking in the front door every day must put a smile on her face. 🙂
Only 2 hours to remove the wallpaper is awesome! The transformation is beautiful! After looking at the steps for awhile I could see the man with the mustache! LOL! Love all the changes 🙂
What a great re-do! I never had that kind of luck taking down wallpaper (if I had I wouldn't still have it in my sitting room!). Loving all that white woodwork and her color choice. Great transformation!
Beautiful and sophisticated. Love the stair riser stencil!
LOVE the fresh updated look! Especially the thrifty wall sconces and fantastic mirror within that lovely vignette!

So fresh & happy now! I love it, the stairs are just gorgeous.
This is a gorgeous redo! Thanks for showing this to us.

I actually love the old wallpaper!
What kinda paint did you use on the lamp base?

That's a great redo!! What a great job and great inspiration that I really need to get started with some of my projects!
LOVE the stamped stairs!
Love what you did. I finally got all the wallpaper out of my house a few months ago. I DON'T like wallpaper for me. You have done a beautiful job.
Thank you Roeshel, for posting this re-do!
Dolly, I used the same paint for the lamp as I used for the wall sconces ~ pewter color Liquid Leaf by Plaid. It comes in a small jar but goes far.
I love the simplicity of the dark wood, silver and white.
