Color, Valspar Signature Paint + Primer in Glass Tile
I wanted the seating to stand out, so for the cushions, I chose a very bright sunshine yellow.
Color, Valspar Signature Paint + Primer in Light Rail
I wanted the window treatments to be a direct contrast to the paint and really stand out. To accomplish that look, I chose a vivid black and white damask pattern. Fabric, Walmart.
Here are a couple of photos of my walls and window treatments before I went to work.
I didn't remove the existing paper, instead opting to paint directly over it. I used a very thin angular brush. If you choose a brush like this with stiff bristle hair, and use a very steady hand, you won't need to tape most areas beforehand.
Remove hardware from walls, paint, and replace.
Here are my walls, completed. I will post as I continue to progress. Thank you!

Finally, someone who can share with me some really practical ideas as I begin the process of changing my plain vanilla motor home into a comfortable, homey cottage on wheels. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! Happy renovating!
DeleteHi, what a great job! I was wondering what you do about painting over the taped seams? or did you take the tape off?
ReplyDeleteI painted right over everything, and it has held up. Hope this is helpful. :)
DeleteOMG I ruined a spot on the wall of my rv removing the wallpaper border~ I am so relieved to know I can paint the little wall!!! It's the right side of the stove, so it's a small wall. If I am brave enough I will do the entire kitchen.. I assume it takes more than one coat...You really made my day. Big relief!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear....happy rambling!
DeleteI love the way your painting came out, looks great! I am trying to find the best way to do this in my 1990 Fleetwood Fair. Unfortunately, there are a few areas of wall paper that are pulling away from the wall and haven't decided if I need to remove it or sand it and paint over it. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteIf the old wallpaper is compromised, I would definitely remove it first. You can likely do it by saturating it with warm water and using a scraping tool such as a putty knife to remove residual paper. Even with sanding, you may have a bit of uneven areas....I think your best bet would be to remove as much of the old paper as possible and then repaper it. I also did the process in the backsplash of the trailer. You can see how I did it by visiting the post in the archives. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteCould you please share how many coats did you use? Although I do realize it depends on what color the wallpaper is, but to give us an idea please. Also thank you for the wonderful post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inquiry...it was only one coat. The paint was pretty opaque, so I was able to cover with one attempt.
DeleteDid you do any sanding at all? My trailer walls are perfect just don't know if I should paint or sand first.
ReplyDeleteHi, Clay! No I didn't sand...but I must again mention that the paint I used was quite opaque.
