THE CEILING / LE PLAFOND




I made up my mind about the ceiling and put some wallpaper on it. But I am not very happy about the way it looks for the moment. I think there is a glue stain, and some creases because I put too much glue or didn't use the right one. The thing is I used real wallpaper that I got from a big wallpaper catalogue in a DIY shop. I guess it's better to have made my first try on the ceiling than on the walls!
It was also the occasion to fit my first lamp.

  1. Can you paint the wallpaper ceiling? You could test a scrap to be sure.

    Also, this might be too late for the ceiling, but have you primed the walls/ceiling before papering? The wood, even mdf, will cause the paper to discolor over time if you don't prime first. I use white craft paint, but there are a number of things you can use. :]

  2. I did put a coat of white paint before pasting the wallpaper!
    Anyway, I am fully aware that this little teashop allows me to make mistakes and learn the craft. I am now really glad I decided to buy a small shop instead of a house to start with!
    But I already have plenty of ideas for other shops!
