Alright, not coffee it's a Sunkist but I'm taking a break. I have removed wallpaper from my large kitchen and my daughters bathroom. It has taken a while due to the fact that my children all got the flu a few weeks ago and that put a halt to my work. But I got the last of it off the kitchen walls today under the cabinets and and I have a fresh, blank slate to start with and I love the idea of that. Did I mention that I have a lot of painting to do now? I do. My prioriy is to finish my daughters bathroom and get them back in there. I hate sharing with them. They are messy when it comes to the toothpaste. Ick. LOL

Just reading that made me tired! I HATE wallpaper so much, lol. I don't like to paint either. We paid extra to have some of the rooms painted colors when we built the house. It was so worth it! Good luck finishing the job!

Ya won't beleive this but I found a small area I forgot about cause I needed to remove my little vac from the wall, it's the thing you put it on to charge it. LOL It's a small area so no sweat. I just gotta wait for the stupid steamer to heat back up.

I HATE wallpaper too. Which is why it's gone. When we moved in it was up and I vowed it would come down some day. I love to paint and do that sort of thing. It's right up my alley. I am gonna try to talk my dh into tiling the backsplash instead of paint it. Me tile it, I just gotta convince him that it would be worth it. It's not a lot and I know I could do it. I want to do it. Hopefully I can.

I never minded wallpaper until we bought a house a few years ago that had wallpaper in nearly EVERY room..

I've never had to deal with wallpaper, all our rooms are painted a boring white, and there's nothing I can do about that right now b/c we rent, but when we purchase our first home I cannot wait to have some color in my house! LOL!

Oh don't feel guilty. I did that yesterday. NOTHING! With al this hanging over my head. I've been dreading moving the stove which is why I put it off the whole week. Once I got started it was easy to finish it up.

I talked to my dh about tiling the backsplash and he agreed! That was easy! LOL So, I already know the color and I can order it online and pick it up at Lowe's. Yay! Yay!

Oh I know about those white walls. We lived in enough apartments too. This is our 2nd home, we lived in our first for 8 years almost. Growing up we always loved in rentals or military housing so I love being able to paint my walls the color I want them.
