score, soak, sit, steam, scrape, and sweat

Today was the day. I met our wonderful realtor at our house and received the keys to our new villa!


This is the before picture of the b-fast area. Check out that fabulous strawberry wallpaper!









First thing's first... REMOVING WALLPAPER! First I scored it and soaked it. After realizing that this was not the most effective way to tear it down, I steamed it and scraped it and much to my surprise we almost completed the entire kitchen!



Yes it is dark out ... 10pm to be exact!








Mom was a huge help! Thanks mom! We had lots of visitors, mom, dad, Jay, Connie, Lance, the Mangum's, and Jana & Jaxon!








and we already met our only neighbor!!!!

Love the layout of what I see in the pics. Wallpaper is so not worth putting up, especially when you have to take it down. Congrats on the keys. Now, get to work.

WOW! Cannot believe that you guys got ALL of that fabulous wallpaper down so quickly. Impressive. Hope you saved a piece for your scrapbook.

I'll be linking your blog so my clients can see all your hard work. Looking forward to seeing the finished home -- it will be a showplace. I'm thrilled for you both!
