[@farminggranny8269]

Take it from an old lady, you will have so many layers of fun on those walls in your lifetime. Have fun with ever phase of your decorating journey. You are making memories and don't even know it yet. Keep up the good work.

[@ThePerkinsLife4]

Looking I don't know if you have looked into it but they make that same gardz problem surface sealer in white. Have a great rest of your weekend

[@dianecharles881]

Both rooms look great to me - always keep in mind, this is your home. None of us will live there. Make it like you heart desires! ❤️

[@nancyrichter3016]

I love the walls in both rooms. You and Ashley did a great job.. :-)

[@johnpiegzik298]

Just a suggestion, take a sheet of drywall and try a few different technics like primer after the sealer and maybe adding white paint(just a little bit) to the sealer? That’s my 2 cents, the important thing is that YOU GUYS LIKE IT!! Thanks for sharing your life with us all! John 😎👍

[@WildBillFlysRC]

Hi Doug, You are correct, you need to paint the walls and ceiling white first, 2 coats is best. No need to seal the walls first. Only after, How do I know this? I am a licensed painting contractor of 27+ years. Keep up the good work,

[@pattycarosi9618]

Good to know I just asked this. I want to do this over my painted wall's. My wall's are white and I love them just want to do this on one wall. It's so different. Thank you

[@WildBillFlysRC]

Patty Liort a couple things to do different, crumple up the paper to give it some good wrinkles. (Texture) It was very trendy years ago but using brown paper bags from the grocery stores

[@courtneywansley8293]

I had the same problem when I did a poster mural on my brothers wall. For whatever reason that particular kind of sealer is just super harsh on paper and it just overly saturates any seams and edges, and in my opinion ruining the final out come. After a lot of trial and error I found out, that instead of using the same sealer you used for the drywall for the paper, to use mod podge craft sealer instead! Its inexpensive, dries completely clear and it seals the paper perfectly without overly saturating the paper, so no lines or seams. I definitely recommend giving this a try because for me it worked perfectly for his mural and 5yrs later it’s still well sealed and beautiful and that poor wall has been through it all lol

[@robertadunn1572]

I was gonna say the something about the Mod Podge.

[@diyfferent]

This is a great idea. Thank you for sharing. I may just try this on the next room and see how it turns out!

[@courtneywansley8293]

You’re quiet welcome! Good luck on the next project ♥️

[@linnsoltwedel]

I think it looks awesome! :) I love how you guys go for something that's not all that typical and modern :)

[@annettenewton6240]

I liked your bedroom the best. I like the see through. That looks more like a painted white room. Keep up the good work.

[@sharibushnell190]

I love it and remember its your home and dont worry what others think . like you said live and learn . Great Job Doug and Ashley

[@elizabethbrooks4849]

This came out ok. It's a little girls room, and I'm just as excited for room as Belle is. I feel like a little kid waiting, in an old lady body. Lol The grand finish will be all for Belle, not us. Stay safe. Hi to the kids

[@brendamontanye9877]

I can hardly wait to see if you are going to use some blue/green/turquoise paper for a peacock effect :) (haha, I doubt it, but I am curious about the peacock!)

[@sharonnowlin2297]

I think that it looks nice! I really love that you guys are willing to experiment on trying new things!! Your home will be totally yours, like no other and that is so neat!!!

[@cassandracanes7448]

You've done it again! Belle is going to love it..🌟 We're all giddy with anticipation for the completed room! Keep up the good work...💗 from Texas

[@WandaKay4u2c]

I have to admit that I've never heard that reasoning in a paper vs paint discussion. My impression from having had both is that paint is a lot easier to clean than paper that gets very dirty over time, but that might be because I live in a warm humid climate too... Tearing the paper just looks TOO FUN!!! How did Maverick not get in on that party? LOL!

[@cherylemaybury2540]

It looks really good on camera. I think it looks fine and like you said, once all the furniture goes in you won’t notice it anyway. Belle will be happy to have her own room again.

[@82RoseLyn]

Looks great. I cant wait to to see what you do to incorporate the peacock into the room.

[@Dontwantahandle0]

I liked the effect the first time and I like it now. It's not over dramatic, just has a hint of a natural stone type look, like white quartz. It gives the walls and ceiling subtle interest that would be hard to achieve with just a coat paint. I think Belle will love it.

[@myfathersdaughter324]

Hey guys 😊. Just do things at your own pace in your own time, there is no pressure to get things done in a hurry. I have been enjoying this whole process, as with Jeff's new home. He said yesterday, that he felt very tired and that he wasn't going to perform to others expectations, I know he is right. Other people's opinions should never matter as long as you are happy with it. Love your work, be encouraged ❤

[@Scully331]

You two have the best attitude about life...try new things, live and learn.

[@shelleyjuniper4984]

Looks great, I thinks you guys are doing an awesome job and the editing in the video was great, I loved the sounds of ripping paper and painting lol I bet your daughter will love it and just because it didn’t turn out like planned, that doesn’t make it bad or wrong just different.looking forward to the rest of your Reno’s

[@kacky6475]

Looks really good! I bet Belle can't wait until it is all finished.

[@1994abbygirl]

I love the walls in both rooms. I suggested it to my husband for our dining room and he crossed his eyes. not because he doesn't like the look, but because of the work. But he's nearly 76m I am thinking I should have married a younger man. LOL! You guys are doing a awesome job on the new home! Blessings!

[@marywagoner8527]

It may not be what you were hoping for but it still leads itself into a kinda modern look. Nothing wrong with that. Don't be discouraged.. It looks good!

[@mimiso2522]

I like the mottled look. It gives the walls depth, not a monochromatic look.

[@mimiso2522]

I think that would be really cool looking.

[@SustainablyYoursHomestead]

It looks pretty good on camera. I think it's cool that you are willing to experiment and that you have such a good attitude about the outcome, even when it wasn't exactly what you were expecting.

[@cjlive5182]

When everything is moved in it will be great like the master bedroom! Be proud!!

[@SimplyJanHomestead]

I love your uniqueness! And it’s your house so do wherever you like! I think it turned out fantastic! You’ve inspired me!

[@hurshulwalker10]

Belle is going to love her room 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. ☮️💜😺

[@donnab8010]

Oh, man. Doug what a bummer. The walls were awesome before the 2nd treatment. I did wallpaper In the past and liked your idea. I'm with you, the room will be awesome when decorated. Great teamwork. Ashley's biscuits will make everything just fine. Thanks for the video.

[@lindalee7284]

That's so funny looking when you sped it up when tearing the paper! Looked like a couple of destructive kids going wild!😂😂😂😂😂

[@karenrebornartist]

I really like it!!! It has a subtle old world stone effect. Gives it character; so much more appealing than stark white walls. In the end all that matters is that you are satisfied with it. Belle is going to love it !

[@debbiealtman4572]

You’re doing the paper on wall because that’s what you want. You’re house and this is what you want. Looking good. Awesome guys!🤗

[@bethlynn5001]

Don't worry about what others think.... it's your house and you design it how you want it.... I actually love the look of the patterns in the paper my opinion is it gives it a flower design. Doug you Ashley and the kids are the greatest and we love your channel!

[@judygagnon3553]

You never know unless you try. From where I sit, it looks great! You two work very hard at making a nice home and you should be proud of yourselves. I'd hire you both!

[@markpeper8419]

Tearing of the paper in fast motion was hilarious. Go Doug and Ashley!

[@memaw5455]

I like what you've done so far. Its unique to you. Knowing the rooms have been gutted and rebuilt is so satisfying. Clean. Appeals to my OCD with cleanliness. Look forward to your videos.

[@tk1882]

Get the white colored version of your sealer. I use Draw Tite white and clear depending on the results i want. Good job and remember you only have to please yourselves and not anyone else.

[@tk1882]

@@rbud57 No difference.

[@missyanngobin7978]

I love the giraffe look, it is unique & over time you will see how many questions and comments you get about its uniqueness - keep up the good work!

[@darlynearmstrong1599]

I like it and I'm planning to ues it for my remodel. Stop being so hard on yourself it looks good. I like it.

[@moonchild1015]

I bet colored paper would have looked amazing. Belle loves colors. It's interesting that's for sure.

[@karenyounger2314]

I really LOVE the effect in your master bed room. That doesnt mean its right for the whole house!!!

[@diyfferent]

We're doing the whole house.

[@dandylionriver]

Soo excited for Belle! I love this paper project. Y'all are the best parents! ❤🙏

[@reneep9968]

You always do such a wonderful job. I’m sure Belle loves it! Looking forward to seeing the end result of the remodel. Blessings...

[@alishahatalski1660]

It doesnt matter what other people think , as long as you guys like it thats all that matters .

[@mrrs8118]

Love the paper on the walls!

[@sksbc3895]

This technique will be great in a child's room especially, making the wall that much more resilient to bumps and accidents. I like the look of the walls in both rooms...the adult bedroom has sort of a parchment look to it....very natural and it looks so nice against the natural wood and rug. Nice job! :)

[@beverlytilton4749]

Even tho it didn't turn out ,as you guys had hoped, keep in mind this is your home, and don't let the people saying you should have done this or you should of done that, or that they don't like it, hinder your enthusiasm for doing your Home exactly the way you want to. It's easy to give advice, when your sitting in your livingroom watching other people work. Last but not least , It is Your Home & Your time & energy, your paying for the supplies, and your doing all the labor. Just have fun, your not trying to please anyone except You & your little Family. My guess is that Bell is going to love it ,no matter what...

[@jeannawalton8107]

I don't know guys...........that same torn paper technique in all the rooms might be a bit overwhelming. But you guys make a great team, and it will be interesting to see how the room turns out :)

[@suehulbert7443]

I wonder if you could have the paint store put some sort of white tint in your sealer to help with the transparency issue. Just a thought.

[@ingridwalter4870]

WoW! You did an excellent job. It is so much work. For me it looks really good, but I liked the result in your bedroom also. It's like it is. It made the small room looking wider. Have a rest! Belle will be happy with her room.

[@victoriaschipper1019]

That's given me ideas for our home and I love it.

[@robinrummel1359]

You called it an experiment, I always call things that didn't work out the way I expected a learning experience. May be disappointing but not the end of the world, don't be discouraged. I think you both have done an amazing job with all the things you have accomplished on the property in such a short time! 👍😃🌱🌻🐎🐤🚜🏠❤️

[@rhondagentry5253]

I think both rooms look great! When you get it completely finished it’ll look great and Belle will love it!! Can’t wait for the reveal and the rest of the house! Everything you and Ashley do turns out great!!! Xoxo

[@aprilroa8151]

I like it. Flaws or not, perfection is just boring. Its inspiring to see how hard you work!

[@lindamartinez8557]

I love the walls and Belle will too!

[@SylviaW1952]

I Love it!!!!! It look like stone.

[@sixpackbinky]

I thought so too, like large white stones.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

try using a white sealer next time the gray of the dry is causing it mostly but I like the look kinda looks like stone walls

[@karlagrymes649]

Truth be told I liked the dragon scale look of the master bedroom. I thought it was progressive with the wood headboard and floating nightstands. You like white walls, but my eyes sees a light yellow tinted wall with the rainbow accessories. To each their own. Looks good.

[@gailreese4699]

I think the paper wall design is the prettiest I have ever seen. Go for it.

[@albertasigh9617]

The heavier paper is definitely the way to go...but prime the wall first. You’ll have a solid white background. It won’t look mottled because of the grayish drywall and whitish mud.

[@camillegonzalez6875]

it looks just as awesome as the master bedroom. The pattern adds interest and it can be used along with any decor as she becomes a teenager.

[@glenokla4079]

Little Belle will love it guys! I can't wait to see her reaction.

[@barbarabell3366]

Awwww, may not be what you expected, but it looks good. I like your first walls also. When you get curtains and furniture in, it will look good and I know Belle will love it. God bless.😀💗

[@sheila220947]

Aw your back I check every day for your videos, I absolutely love the paper on the. Walls it looks fantastic and unusual I’d never seen it before but it looks amazing, I know I’m going to love belle’s bedroom when it’s finished, so like you say at the end of your videos, so until next time take care xx

[@lauriallis2029]

I like it. I am probably more excited then Belle for the reveal. I can't wait.

[@lechatbotte.]

I like your bedroom better actually. I love the texture. That’s just me. When it was wet it looked almost like rock. Will be interesting.

[@tinatipps5042]

Love it!! It’s different!! It’s ok to be different!! Don’t let people discourage you Doug and Ashley!! It’s your house!! ❤️👍🏼

[@lsankey9019]

Another suggestion. Take a piece of drywall & put your paper on it then do the sealer. It should show you how it will turn out before you go thru all the room & be disappointed at the result. You could even do several sample boards with different techniques to see which one you like.

[@patrioted9543]

Your room looks fine. Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise. Great job.

[@frankielong6871]

Love that teamwork!

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

I love experiments, your's are great learning & teaching ones. The nice thing is as you continue to experiment & teach, each room will have its own uniqueness

[@beverlyvo728]

It is fresh looking. Maybe Belle can add her artwork to her walls. That would be fun. I bet she is pretty excited about her new room.

[@susanwhitmore2092]

I think it looks great!

[@sandradowd6732]

It looks so cool!! Love watching your videos

[@lanaodell8282]

I really like the walls in both rooms!!! I love that you challenged yourselves and chose to do something different on the walls instead of the paint!!! Can’t wait to see more of your home remodel, excited to see Belle’s finished room!!!

[@Siansonea]

I would just prime the walls white before doing it in the next room. That will give a nice effect, I think, and guarantee no bleed through of the bare drywall and tape/compound.

[@kygirl1212]

Seriously, I love it.. The wall looks like a stone wall to me. I'm going to have to try this..

[@seancarrick6800]

Walls look nice.

[@melanieeaton7302]

Looks great!!! It's going to be perfect!!!

[@justeenwade9601]

I love how your bedroom turned out.

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

I love the giraffe look as you call it and think it looks fab. It's different yet unique.

[@dt65262]

I love the look and I'm thinking about doing it in my own house!

[@weetreebonsai]

I have no doubts that you will get it all figured out!

[@suemcdermott3522]

I loved the way it looked when the sealer was wet and your room looks great too. Hope you're not too disappointed. Can't wait to see the finished room. 👍

[@lindacruikshank2656]

It looks so much better and brighter than before. And it's unique just like you guys. Love it

[@carolelliott4800]

I love this paper so much better y’all are doing a great job!!

[@brendagillespie2805]

Life is learning. Thank you for showing us. I do know a lady that used this technique with brown paper bags on her floors and it was so beautiful. God Bless

[@justeenwade9601]

I thing both rooms look great but I love how your room turned out. Keep up the good work and you did you.

[@dawnk4083]

Both bedroom walls look really nice. I am staying tuned to future remodels.

[@ubetchya78]

I think it looks good either way, and your bedroom too.

[@kaycox5555]

Too bad you two are disappointed; from this video, it looks clean and great!

[@anitaromero2248]

I think it looks very nice you did a good job. Thank you so much for the video it was amazing to watch. I do appreciate it.👍😊

[@Mumakinder]

you guys work so well together, i think the room looks fab so far. keeping smiling, hugsx

[@PatBarr55]

I like it, very creative. I'm sure once everything is done it will look great!!

[@kimberleytramper8966]

I still like it. It gives the room more character than paint. It will all come together in the end.

[@sharontrotter8198]

At first I was like, WHAT the WHAT, THEIR CRAZY! But I loved your bedroom walls and the desk area, (the contrast ROCKED) once it was completed. It looked like scales to me as well. I loved the uniqueness of the look!!!!!! It was simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@nessabridge5019]

Love that this technique helps you work as a team. So great to see.

[@darlenemylifewithparkinsons]

House remodeling is not for the faint of heart. Your bravery is paying off, it's lovely. Take care
