Right now I feel like we are crazy to have taken on this remodeling project. It is the second time in less than 2 years that we have completely remodeled our house. First we repainted everything in our condo and installed beadboard, new light and electrical, and new hardware before we moved in and that felt like a lot of work. Now we are doing the same for our new house plus tons more. It is going to look great when it is all done, but I can't help but feel really discouraged at how it looks worse before it starts looking better. We have been stripping wallpaper for 2 weeks now. I will never ever wallpaper anything ever. Fortunately we only had 2 layers in the main room, and three in the kitchen. Everything else was only one layer! The other discouraging part is that the progress and changes are so slow right now. I just keep telling myself that is will really suck right now and then it will all be over. I should start thinking about the good things. Like, Olive has been super awesome and plays there everyday. And at least we are not trying to live there and remodel because that is even harder. Hopefully this next week it will all start coming together and I will be able to sleep at night without waking up to think about all that I have to do on this house.
P.S. Please have the moral conscience to not wallpaper your house.
P.P.S. I wish I had pictures to show but I've been to busy.

Ug! I know what you mean. I think the worst part about stripping wallpaper is that you're never really sure about the condition of the wall underneath. I will definitely never wallpaper my house EVER.
I can't wait to see it when you're all finished! I hope you're taking before, during and after photos. Oh, and if you ever need some time completely free of Olive, feel free to give me a call! James loves playmates.
I have also vowed to never wallpaper anything ever. I've removed too much of the stuff.
Can't wait to see pictures!
Oh, I wish I were there to help.
Hang in there, you will be so pleased in the end.
