The dining room redo has begun

I love my house, but does it really have to cost so much to get it the way I like. We celebrated or more like recognized our one year anniversary in our house at the end of March. So far both the kids rooms have been pained, my craft room has been painted and the living room is all but done, just needs new floors.

With that in mind it was time to tackle a new room, I wanted to do the downstairs bathroom. A little ambitious I know but I wanted to do something that included more then painting. The money had to go to painting the outside of the house instead. We had peeling paint and boards coming up so it was a must.

I was thinking that it would be awhile until I started another room. Then Miss Flower Lily of the deathly night was caught using the room for something other then an eating place. I knew it was time to pull up the carpet, so I thought that I might as well do the whole room.

The bad news Scott got in trouble at school, the good news is the trouble at school equals housework. He pulled off most of the top layer of the wallpaper in the dining room. I then proceed behind him to wet down the bottom layer and just pull it right off the wall. Never have I had wallpaper come down so easily. It has been like peeling a band aid off. There are a few spots that stick but for the most part it just comes right off the wall.

I still need to pick the colors for the room and the fabric that will go along the top but I have a general idea of what I want.
