We Made Over Our 1902 Sunroom—and Tried to Wallpaper the CEILING?! | Room Makeover Part 1
You guys… it’s happening!! We officially kicked off the very first room transformation in our 1902 fixer upper, and we started with a space that’s been begging for some love: the SUNROOM. 💫
If you’ve ever looked at a neglected space in your house and thought, “Could this be… magical?” — then you’re going to love what we’re cooking up. We're talking whimsy, sunshine, vintage charm, and a slightly overambitious ceiling project that tested our patience (and shoulders) to the max. 😅
What’s in this week’s episode?
In Part 1 of our Home Renovation Series, we’re giving you:
A full before tour of the sunroom (spoiler alert: it needed HELP)
The moodboard + vision for the space 🎨
Our DIY plan on a tiny budget
Wallpaper removal hacks + our go-to tools
Lead encapsulation (safety first!)
Wall repairs, mudding, skim coating, and priming like pros (well... sorta)
AND—the moment you didn’t know you needed—wallpapering the CEILING. Cue dramatic music 🎻
But wait—did it go smoothly? LOL no. 😂 Stick around to see the glorious fail and what we plan to do about it in Part 2!
Why start with the sunroom?
Because this little room has huge potential. With all that natural light and vintage charm, we knew it could become a cheerful oasis with a little (okay, a lot of) elbow grease and creativity. Plus, it’s a smaller space, so it’s the perfect testing ground for our renovation ideas. And you KNOW we love a challenge. 🙃
