Latest Project

Kimball and I started removing the wallpaper from our master bathroom on Rebecah's birthday. I gave Kimball the task of peeling off the paper that morning to keep him occupied while I put on my makeup. He was making good progress so I jumped on board. (I wasn't excited at all about removing the wall paper because my wonderful and patient Mother-in-law removed the paper in our kitchen a year ago when she came for Rebecah's birth. She struggled and struggled and struggled to remove the paper and I didn't want to face that but I knew our bathroom needed a makeover.) This wallpaper must have been different from the wallpaper in the kitchen because it came of so easily and at times we pulled it off in sheets. I had the entire bathroom wallpaper free in two days.

We knew we wanted gray paint for the walls but that is easier said than done. I brought home paint samples on two different occasions and Joseph didn't like any of the colors. I then told Joseph to just find a color that he would be happy with because he cared more than I did about the color. He came home with a gallon of paint and I knew instantly that he wouldn't really like the color once it was on the wall...I'm sad to say, I was right. I painted the toilet room portion of our bathroom in the paint and we both didn't like it. It was too dark and looked too blue. We then went back to Lowe's togethr to pick a different color of gray. I painted over the weekend and Joseph reinstalled the toilet, towel bars and light fixtures today. The color still isn't perfect but it was the best we could do because I'm tired of painting!



By far my favorite part of this project was taking off the wallpaper. I could get so much accomplished in such a short amount of time.

We still need to tackle Kimball and Rebecah's bathroom, but I'm going to take a break from projects. I get tired of the mess and clutter easily and we spent the last two months of 2010 putting down new flooring in the kitchen.
