Let the wallpaper come DOWN!!

Before picture... Minus a little piece that I ripped off before I took the picture and realized I hadn't taken a before picture. Wallpaper was very neutral but still needed to come down!
Here it comes!! Only to reveal a worse wallpaper underneath!
This project may take awhile but the steamer I borrowed from my friend is a lifesaver!!
Through the 4 layers of wallpaper I found the wall!!
Archway between the dining room and the hallway.
Only a little bit left in the hallway to take down.
Progress! Walls still need to be washed but they are in great condition!

Curb Stop Project!

Let the digging BEGIN!!
Yard has been marked and they will begin digging up the old curb stop on January 9th.

Future Master Bed Linen Preview....

Here is all the bed linens that I have been collecting... Although it is on the wrong bed and in the wrong room I am very excited to "Someday" sleep on this bed! All greys, white and glass with just a splash of teal for fun! LOVE IT and the master has moved up on the renovation list!

Renovation List is as follows...
- Paint Master bedroom closet (installed new shelving to accommodate all those things women need in a closet!)
- Bathroom renovation (walls need repaired, painted, new floor laid and new shelves hung)
- Hallway (can see the hallway from almost every room in the house so want to start there since I will have just finished the bathroom... will just slowly snake my way through my house) I think my hallway will also be the only room in the house that i paint a bold color....Think it will be fun!
- Master bedroom (wall paper needs to be removed, walls painted, and ceiling painted. I already installed new blinds)
-Dining room- wall paper removal, walls and ceiling need painted. New chandelier already up! so just need to finish with the walls!
- Living room- more wall paper removal, walls and ceiling painted, need new fan still as well.

I am sure much more will come onto the list but this will keep me busy probably for the next year I am sure!!

Emma's favorite hobby while I am not home... Push all of her bows and toys into the hallway cleaning closet and wait patiently for me to come home to get them out! There was 13 she had pushed under this day!
Cooking on Christmas in mom's new kitchen! I didn't get too many pictures but we had a great Christmas at Mom's new house. I know Mom and I will NEVER forget Christmas night that year as I put a load of laundry in and we were watching TV after everyone else went to bed and heard the washer backing up into the utility sink in the laundry room. It made a HUGE mess and went into the basement and garage!! Guess that just makes me a little glad that my washer dryer are in an unfished basement!! Next morning rotor rooter came and after 2 and a half hours the problem was fixed! WHAT A MESS THOUGH!!
