Our house here in Wisconsin is a diamond in the rough. It is a nice solid house with a good amount of space. However, the previous owners lived here for 47 years. Needless to say, there are a lot of updates needed. The carpeting is probably from the 70s. The previous owners really loved carpeting though! So, much so that they decided to put it on the walls in the hallway upstairs...yes, on the walls! We haven't tackled that project just yet, but I will be sure to include pictures when we do!
As with so many home projects, our first project took much longer than anticipated. We decided to strip the wallpaper in Garytt's room first so that we could get it painted and make it feel like a comfortable place for him. What we thought would take a few weekends, took a month. But we are very happy that we took the time to do it right and remove the wallpaper rather than just painting over it because it looks so much better now!
This is the before photo. You can't really tell but the wallpaper had very small flowers all over it. Not only is it totally not my style, it looked a bit girly for Garytt.
Pulling up the carpet.
Patching the wall.
We will be adding a green stripe and some wall decor. We'll have to post more pictures when it is totally done.
