Man vs. Wallpaper

This has been the week of cleaning, unpacking, and looking for furniture since we moved here with so little. When we moved in there was old, dirty, ugly wallpaper in the downstairs and upstairs bathroom. Some of it was already falling off the wall, practically begging me to tear it down, and before I knew it I was tugging, then pulling, scraping, spraying, sanding, buying paint, taping, etc-- it was all out war. The wallpaper didn't go down without a fight and it turned into a much bigger, 3 day project than we anticipated, but it looks SO much better!

Jeff did a lot of work. I sure love this guy!

Here's what the upstairs wallpaper looked like before:Upstairs bathroom- halfway there! I'm sure Jeff has a gigantic grin under that mask.
More pictures to come...

We'll sign off for today with a pic of us having our first dinner that we cooked here in Baton Rouge. Can't beat camping chairs and a cardboard box table :)
