Flip That Eating Nook

When we moved into our house, one of the things we really liked about it was that everything was in good working condition. However, every inch of wall on the main floor (with the exception of the living room) was covered in outdated wallpaper. It's been slowly coming down, but the wallpaper removal process has been unpredictable. Our latest project was the dining area. It was a small amount of wall space, but with layers of wallpaper to remove and with the first paint color too bright, it took more than its share of time! After finishing the curtains today, we're finally satisfied and wish we had done it months ago! (Now we just need a new light fixture, but who knows when that will happen so we'll post now.)

Of course Gwen was a big help throughout the the process. She helped perforate the wallpaper prior to steaming and peel off the remaining shards of wallpaper around the edges after steaming. (These photos are from back in September when we started the project.)
