I Hate Wallpaper!!!



Have I said this before how much I dislike wallpaper in my house. I don't dislike it in other homes but I'm basically a paint type of gal, maybe a faux finish but really just painted walls. I spent my last 2 days off stripping wallpaper in my kitchen and if you have noticed in the 2nd picture no more blue countertop.
I started this project in my mind a long time ago always wanting to eventually change the look of the kitchen but since most of the time I'm the queen of procrastination it took awhile. I would look at different counter tops at work and dream, finally I got more interested this past spring, introduced my idea to Jody and a month or two later I ordered the counter top. I ordered the new top at the end of May and thought I had more than a month to get rid of the wallpaper - wrong! I ordered on the 31st of May, they called to set up the template appointment that following Thursday and install for today.
Special thanks to my husband for priming the walls over the weekend, so I am set to paint once the install is done.
Off to feed the puppies and get them to day camp (5th wheel)before the installers arrive.
