it's all a matter of opinion...

When we moved into our home, there was wall paper in the kitchen and in the master bathroom.

The seller's realtor commented on the beautiful master bathroom at closing. I asked if she we were talking about the same house... illustrating beautifully that beauty really is a matter of opinion!

We promptly removed the paper from the kitchen, but the chore was so difficult, I just wasn't up to tackling another room immediately... at the beginning of the school year I made it a goal to rid my bathroom walls of the floral pattern (see picture below) before June... with two weeks to spare I started and finished the project. Thankfully, the paper and glue came off so much quicker than the kitchen's paper. Had I known there would be such a difference, I wouldn't have waited so long to embark on the project!

Sophia and Porter really enjoyed helping.

Even though Sophia couldn't understand why we were taking down the pretty paper. She said more than once, "But mom, I like the flowers."

Unfortunately, we're still living in a construction zone. Now that the paper is off, we need to patch, texture and paint...

Moral of the story... never put up wall paper!
