Well, I’m going to have to put quarter round up by the ceiling because the edge is so rough that even good painter’s tape didn’t keep the paint colours from bleeding, but I’m okay with that. The ceiling is white, the area around the shower is cream, and the area behind the toilet has beadboard textured wallpaper that will be painted cream.

Ceiling finally finished, around the shower painted. I don’t think the green tape goes with the colour scheme, though.

Moar. I stopped painting a little past the area that would be papered.

I’m not exactly experienced at wallpapering in the first place–I’ve only done a small area once before–and this was…interesting. it was prepasted, but I put a little extra on the wall because this is a bathroom. I’m not going to trim it because it’s very soft when it’s wet, and it tears. The wall is a long way from smooth…or flat…or rectangular…but it came out okay. Looks a bit pinkish because of the pink wall opposite, but painting will fix that. For the record, the paste on this stuff was almost exactly the consistency of snot.

Next weekend, this will be dry enough to paint, assuming it doesn’t shrink a lot, or fall off. We’ll see. Anyway, I like the texture, and I might just like it enough to use it over that awful peach flowered stuff in my office and the north wall.
