Good morning!
Wow I must say it was so nice not having to get up and do that commute this morning! :) Whohoo!
Last night Eric and I were stripping wall paper. Eric actually did it all day while I cooked and did the food prep- we are quite the team I tell ya! We rented a steamer from Home Depot and it made the process so so so much easier.
Here is the living room:
After stripping:
We are not sure what colours we are going to paint this room yet.
We are putting in hardwood floor at some point in the next several months. We would also like to try to keep the beautiful ornate detailing on the ceiling (Erics mom hand painted that herself!!!), but we may change the pink (as indicated by the arrows) detail to a different colour.
Any ideas for paint colours???
We also started on the family room last night. The green wallpaper has WOOD in it so it is a real biotch to strip! Apparently this is my job this week. ;)
