The Kitchen So Far

With Tyler on leave this week we decided to get started on taking down the wallpaper in this house. It was pealing really bad in the kitchen. We thought the pealing might mean it would be easier to take down. We were wrong. Not only was the paper tough to remove, but we found MOLD on one small wall. Yuck! Luckily it was only between the ratty old paper and hideous blue paint. Not in the wall. Tyler and I went to battle armed with Bleach and scrub brushes and were able to remove it. As of last night the wall paper is gone and so is the blue paint. And it only took three coats of primer! Now all we have left is to paint. It was slow going since we only worked while Riley was sleeping, but the finish line is so close. I can't wait to have my kitchen back to normal.

This little one has been a trooper. She hates being blocked out of the kitchen, but she loves getting to eat in the living room.
