Hi @Romarlie
Let me tag @monochromehaus to make them aware of your kind words. I totally agree that the bedroom makeover was just awesome. It's amazing how a bit of Easycraft 9 x 2400 x 1200mm easyVJ100 Primed General Purpose Wall Lining MR MDF E0 can transform the entire look of the room. A bit of wallpaper certainly adds character to the entire scene.
If you're planning something similar, please don't forget to post an update. I'm sure our members would be keen to see how you'll transform your room with EasyVJ panels.

Let me tag @monochromehaus to make them aware of your kind words and question. Looking at the photo it seems very similar to the Porta 92 x 18mm 2.7m Half Splay Primed Pine Moulding.

Thank you! My biggest tip would be when hand painting in-between the panelling to not use excessive paint as it can leave a thicker layer where you've cut in even after rolling as it begins to dry before you start rolling. This part can take a while but doing it properly can allow for a seamless finish
Thank you so much! They are removable decals which I thought would be perfect as she grows I can change it without repainting
