A first before and after.

There will be lots of before and after pictures when we are done making this house look more like our tastes prefer. Here is the first of the wall coverings we've done, many more to work on!

The story behind this is that my mother and I attempted for HOURS to peel the wall paper in this house. Apparently back in the 60's they used some sort of super glue that nothing can break.....so, now we are moving on to wall COVERINGS instead of peeling wall paper to paint. I wanted different, I am getting different!

Our farm mural that was on our dining room wall. Lots of family members have been sad to hear of this leaving, but it is truly not our taste in decor.

And after. I love it! It took about an hour and a half to do this, with dinner break and hugs in the middle. I tore the paper and Steven dipped it and stuck it on the wall. Love it so much I might forego a lot of other ideas and do this in at least one more room!
