Dining room border reveal

Before- When I initially looked at this house, I knew this border had to go! It only took 2 years!

Yay! We finally got the border put up in the dining room. We had to take a 2 month break in between of the paint/ new floors in the living room. I thought about painting the dining room the same color as the living room. The more I thought about it, it seemed like it would be too dark. The new border looks great with the tan paint. Here's the nitty gritty on how to hang border over old ugly border. I have watched my mom put up many different wallpapers in our houses through the years, but I never did it myself. I knew there was getting it wet and laying it over each other and smoothing it out. Well that wasn't enough of directions for my husband! So to Google we went- (where we find out how to do everything!~ from buying a house to knowing remedies for a screaming gassy baby!)
When applying paper on paper, you don't need water at all! We bought a vinyl adhesive with a roller attached and rolled it on the back then book it. Then stick it on the wall carefully and use a smoother tool to get out the bumps. Of course, we were getting good by the last roll and Jacob thought to paint some extra glue to the top and bottoms on the wall to make sure none of it peeled up. All in all, it took only an hr to do our (small) dining room and I'm quite pleased with the results!

Jacob got smart and put some extra glue on the bottoms

  I love how all our projects, it looks like Jacob is doing the whole thing himself! I assure you, I did help! Jacob as usual did a lot of it though...   Hmmm... Now what can the next project be?!

After! Now it goes with our French Cafe theme

I had this canvas picture already, the print on the border is almost an exact match! This is in our living room to try to pull the two themes together..
