Out with the old, In with the new!

In this case the "old" was the ugly wallpaper taunting me from its presence throughout my kitchen for the past year. Every morning I could hear it mocking me, just daring me to start ripping it down. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure in its day it was quite trendy and not always as hiedous as it had now become. Only problem was "its day" was probably 1973 and after 35 years it was definately time to go. Jared took the day of last Thursday and we spent the week-end taking down paper, cleaning adhesive of the wall, priming, and painting. The primer looked purple in the sunlight. Needless to say there were three very disappointed girls when they found out the kitchen was not going to be purple for long.

Thanks to Nikki and Dave for giving us the jumpstart we needed. Now its on to the bedroom. Beware, metallic silver paper with pink roses!
