It's so odd this isn't the only brand of wallpaper with this added 'shine'. to be honest who really wants that look?!<br /><br />I did think about varnish...I can try it. ;o)) This is a Harry Potter project and it's got to be rather more distressed! lol So I have a few ideas how to experiment with the ageing....lightly sand, trying oil based stain, tea or acyclic washes. With early experiment's a lot of the shine comes off, so if I spend more time on it I 'should' get the look I want. I would have liked some peeling paper...but I don't think I'm gonna get it with this paper!

Although if you age it, it will probably take some of the shine off. shannonc60https://www.blogger.com/profile/12411485172616395915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145296680061222023.post-64512184639862289142015-02-10T14:02:08.581+00:002015-02-10T14:02:08.581+00:00Gosh, you have been hard at work, im tired just lo...Gosh, you have been hard at work, im tired just looking at it all. lol Great job so far.
