Polishin' the terd.

Christopher's house needed some TLC before I move in officially in October. Last Saturday, since I was putting off going to the gym, I decided it was time to decorate. (For the record, I would have been WAY better off going to the gym!)

I went and got Chris' mom and we were off to the paint store. She was such a huge help tearing down wallpaper, and so was Chris' grandma! I finished Saturday at about 7, we were having friends at 8. I'm good with deadlines. Here's some before, during and after pictures!

And by the way...I advise folks to NEVER use wallpaper, ever.


That bird...it haunts me.











This is the second pile of wallpaper, we had already gone around and cleaned up one round, then scrapped more and got this. UGH


Well worth all the trouble...






Bird's gone.








Huge thanks to all of Chris' family for all the help!!
