I have never heard of skirting boards before, how interesting! Are they similar to base boards? I can definitely see how they
improve the look of a home.
OH WOW!! I have never heard of this clever wall protector before!! We have fur babies, besides a lot of grandkids and now a couple of great grandkids that love to run around our walls, throw balls and toys, throw tantrums! Our poor walls have been real troopers, but there is only so much our 26 year old walls can take! Our walls are really 65 years old. We are only claiming the 26 years that we have lived here. We have painted. We have thought about wall paper and paneling. I like this idea better. It looks more attractive too. This was pin worthy!! Thank you for sharing!
