Back kitchen wall stripped, patched, and ready for color. What came down was not wallpaper but blue-checkered cloth with a cotton padding underneath. It all dropped off with pulling out the millions of slat staples, but there was still glue to have to scrape off the wall.
The same tissue was used for patio door curtains, exposed cupboard backs, and lamp shade. We like the door curtains, so we’re going to make more for the kitchen sink window, too, out of the salvaged wall material.

The other walls, now refreshed, will remain white, but the glass doors and window frames will become blue to set those out more from their containing white walls.
On the business side of the kitchen is a lot of wood cabinetry, and these tiles line the wall between upper and lower cabinets, and tops of counters!
They’re dated but cooler than ever. We love. My wife insists on trying to save/reuse, and I know that’s an unlikely task, but she’ll see.
We’ll try to mimic the idea, regardless.
