I just had new kitchen countertops put in and decided I didn't like the color of the kitchen walls with the new counters. So last night, I started ripping down wallpaper (perhaps my all-time favorite home decorating chore - NOT!) Emma was excited and offered to help...
We got all the wallpaper down, but there are still a lot of spots where the glue is stuck to the walls. So it looks like tomorrow will be a wetting, scoring and scraping kind of day.
In the meantime, I had our bathroom sink hauled away to be refinished. It is an ancient cast iron pedestal sink that I love, but it was definitely in need of a little sprucing up. So we'll be without a bathroom sink for a week, which means brushing our teeth using the bathtub. That was fun for one day, but now we're over it.
Who knows what else I'll decide to tear up or out during this manic decorating phase. If only Ty Pennington would swing by to help out!

Reminds me of the 8 layers I took off of my kitchen walls a few years ago. Not fun!
It must be in the air. I bought a new rug for Eliza's room and now I'm ready to pull out the old paint brush. Somehow, I don't think a 19 month old and painting mix...we'll see how brave I get!

Can't wait to see the 'before' and 'after' pictures! Oh, and would Ty be shirtless by chance?
Oh what a great helper she is! Your post brightened my day :)
