The 1st "Project"!
The entryway was bad... 30 year old wheat stalk wall paper that just had to go! In fact... it was what made me a little skiddish about buying the home until Ken said, "it's only wallpaper... we can take it down." Well... 30 year old glue backing is some serious stuff let me tell you!!! AUGH... it was a HUGE undertaking.
The finished product... we used a technique called "Tuscan Accents" on the small wall.
The scary ladder! Yikes... Ken had to do this part!
The kids actually helped to peel the first layer that came off pretty easy... it was the glue paper backing that was a killer!
I am grateful for: the fact that this project is done!!
