Wallpaper SUCKS!

I don't know who invented wallpaper but they should be shot! We had to scrape off 3 layers of wallpaper! The top layer was fake plaster-looking wallpaper, the next was a lovely 1980's country blue pattern with an oh-so-adorable geese border, and at the very bottom a 1970's orangish flowery-pattern. YUCK!!!

THANK YOU GRANDMA!!! She save our lives by bringing over her steamer and was SUCH a trooper to help us scrape off the wallpaper! You are the BEST!

Kitchen Demo

Saturday morning (before Ikea opened) we began tearing down upper cabinets. Several hours later we finished tearing down the wall separating our kitchen & dining room. Things are starting to look different :) I LOVE all the natural light that comes in our dining room window and now it lights up our entire house in the morning! Now you can see from one end of the house to the other.
