Moving along....

 Week one of renovations is over, and the house is an entirely new house.  Whew!

Most of the house hadn't been touched in over 20 years, and needed lots of TLC.  It was the era of wall to wall carpeting, with each room a different color.  Wallpaper in hideous prints abounded, and in the master we hit the jackpot- painted walls with wallpaper UNDERNEATH.  Yippity-do-dah.  Thank God for great contractors.

The wood floors are visible throughout now, and luckily, are in great shape.  There's not a stitch of wallpaper left anywhere, and the walls have been patched and primed, even painted in some rooms.  Finally, the house is no longer lost in time, but has been brought forward to 2011.

We've been visiting the house daily to see what transformations occur.  Sometimes we even find little projects to keep us out of trouble.  Just today, we tearfully removed some brown and orange window treatments (sniff sniff).  If you believe that, I've got some ocean front property in Kansas I can sell you.
The decor that was left behind couldn't make it's way to the dumpster fast enough.

Enough babbling.  I bet you'd like to see some photos of what the rooms are looking like now....
Wait no longer!

                                 Upper hallway is now wallpaper free and has lovely wood floors.
                             Our Master, with all new dry wall thanks to the painted over wallpaper....
                                                   Master looking into the bathroom hallway.
                 Soon to be piano room, off the front hall and kitchen.  It's now wallpaper free too!
                  My kitchen is finally wall paper free and white.  Won't reveal the paint color until later....
                                   Look Ma!  No ugly wallpaper!  This mama is much happier now.
