Getting Ready to Paint

This is the wallpaper in the boy's room. Once I started scrapping...I noticed another layer of previously mentioned "Love Boat" wallpaper. Notice the anchors, stars, and barely visable golden linked chains. The first layer was easy to come off, but the Love Boat paper was a pain. Even Daniel was confused!

Here is my man...getting ready to paint the kitchen. It is ready and primed. Now it's a clean and bright yellow. It looks nice with the new floor.
Daniel wanted to help paint..."priddy pleeease". Actually he has been a help peeling wallpaper and de-tapping when trimming is done.











Here is a finished window side wall of the boy's room. The green idea is Sam's. Once more layer of white trimming around the chair rail and window and it should be done. The room looks good.

New Kitchen and Dining Room Floor

Every Family Room needs a Fridge.


The Stove stopped by to check out the new dining room floor.









Dining room floor to Living Room.












New Flooring from Dining Room to Kitchen.

Old Kitchen and Dining Room Floor

First we removed the Carpet in the Kitchen. (see previous post)
Then we cleaned the mud off the floor and found tile.

We didn't want to stop there, so in the next post we will show you our new Kitchen floor.

The Morning of the New Floor installation Matt was going to disconnect the stove before work. The Gas shut off behind the stove wouldn't budge. So... He shut off the Gas to the house.
Here is the Kitchen to dining room floor.
Carpeted dining room? Not with 2 boys.
And not with this carpet. Notice how the Metal room dividers from other pictures have been removed? It really opens up the dining to living room area.

Update

Sorry, it's taken so long to update this blog. We have been busy little beavers! The biggest news is...the new kitchen and dining room floors have been installed. It turned out beautiful. We got wood laminate flooring for both rooms and it looks so nice. Right now the fridge is in the family room. Once the kitchen is painted, we will put it back. It's just a pain to get food ready to run into the FR to get stuff from the fridge. Pictures are forthcoming. The wallpaper and paneling are gone in the family room. Tom got a industrial size sander that is heaven! Still deciding what color paint for the FR.
Wallpaper is still being scrapped in the master bedroom and the boy's room. The boy's room had two layers of wallpaper. The first layer was a groovy 1970's nautical theme with primary colors and anchors, stars and chains. I thought I was on the "Love Boat" (remember that show?). Again pictures are coming.
We are frantically getting walls done because the carpet for the rest of the house is coming probably in the next week. So we can see the end of the tunnel. It has been quite a journey since we've been here.
I have to say on thing... I cannot wait for school to start. Both boys are driving me CRAZY. Hats off to whoever discovered preschool.
Come back soon for pictures.
