The Wallpaper's Demise

I cannot believe I am saying this, but my best friend (my wallpaper steamer) and I conquered my worst enemy (40-year-old wallpaper) once and for all!!!!! The last wallpapered room in our house has been stripped down to it's beautiful, glue-stained, light and airy self! I cannot believe how much brighter and bigger it looks now!!! I almost forgot to take a before picture, but don't worry, I took an in-progress one:

This is a largish two-room bathroom and every wall was covered in this stuff, even behind the mirror, which Casey took down for me so I could de-wallpaper behind--no lazy homeowners here ;) I have the paint in my possession and this room is getting a serious makeover! I'm so excited! And yes, both the bathtub and the toilet are Harvest Gold, circa 1969. They will be staying for now, along with the marbled counter-top. One thing at a time :)

My kids got some haircuts today! Yes! I was super tired of them looking like Ragamuffins! Layla's is sooooo cute.

 And Kelby got a buzz. Handsome dude.

I would show you Natalie's, but she's wearing a mermaid dress and has both dirt and sidewalk chalk on her face. Not helping the anti-ragamuffin efforts :)

Aren't these color-your-own flower pots so cute? The kids did these in the nursery on Sunday.

I noticed last week that two people have "un-followed" my blog. That's okay. It's not a popularity contest, right????? Makes me hope I'm still interesting to some people, though. Ha! I have been praying about how to better use this blog more for God's glory and not for my own. I'm excited to see where He takes that prayer!

I hope you all have a wonderful evening! It's laundry-folding night for me!
