we won't quit our day jobs..

This past weekend was devoted to removing wallpaper and painting! It was our first time to do either for the both of us. I began removing wallpaper on Friday morning. It took 8 hours to remove a fraction of the border! I used hot water, chemicals, and finally we got a steamer to remove it all on Friday night. There were sections that the glue would not budge..grr so frustrating! It took us forever to remove it all! So needless to say we got our fix for painting for awhile!




This is our kitchen before.




This is us taping and priming...

Our finished products...
When we revealed the painted edges by removing the tape we discovered that we should not ever quit our day jobs to become painters! What we thought were good protected edges are so not! And with pulling the tape off some of the paint pulled off with it! But it was fun and some good quality bonding time!
