Kitchen Work

Even though there is still a mess from our outside project, this week we started a new inside project.  Finally, we are having the wall paper removed from the kitchen and the walls painted.

We have lived here for 13-1/2 years and with the wallpaper that was here when we arrived.  Why have we not tackled this sooner?  Because they decided to put wallpaper on the ceiling!  Since we have done a lot of the remodeling in our house ourselves, this ceiling is something we have avoided.  (All these pictures were taken after I had removed everything from the counter and walls.  It is never this neat.)



The wallpaper is not so bad that it is not livable (obviously, we have been living with it for a long time).  But country, eighties is not our style.  This year I just had enough of it and decided we needed to just have someone else take care of removing the wallpaper and painting.  That's what is happening this week.



Don't you just love the border with hearts?  So not our style!  Hopefully, I will have some "after" pictures soon.

I have removed so much wallpaper in my lifetime! It can go either very well and come off easily or it can be a case of picking off pieces the size of your thumbnail. I am wishing for you the kind where you can pull off full sheets in one piece! Good luck! It always feels so good to get a big job like this done.
