The ceiling rework is finish. It was a major pain in the ass, but it looks much better now. I have this fantastic tapa pattern paper that I have been wanting to use, so I choose to mount it on the wall as a panel. I took the rum barrels off the wall behind the bar so I could use the whole back wall. I cut the sheet to size and stapled it to the wall along the edges. It is a heavy paper and I was worried about ripping and staining (splashes, etc.) so I painted three coats of clear decuopage to seal it. When it dried, it shrank a little so it removed all of the wrinkles and was hard to the touch. It worked great. Then I trimmed out the panel along each side with bamboo (it also covered the staples). To complete, I will lash rope at the corners of the bamboo. |
