Kitchen project-Part 1

This past weekend, we started our kitchen project-with the help of a few friends!! If you remember, we have been wanting to tear down the apple/rooster/wheat wallpaper that was in there since we moved in. Last weekend Brian decided lets do it before it keeps getting put off some more.
So, we enlisted Kurt and Joanna's help (they had done 3 rooms in their house!!!) and rented a streamer from Home Depot. On Sunday morning, the kitchen turned into a work zone. There was scoring, applying DIF, streaming, scraping, washing, and paper sticking to everything but not the walls anymore!!! The only problem spot was the area that sticks out above the cabinets and Brian is trying to convince me to take those down anyway. We will have to see who wins that battle.
Now the kitchen is wallpaper free and looking like a kitchen again. The walls are a mess and need some patchwork before the painting can begin. Who knows when we will get to that, but at least the wallpaper is gone!!
More updates as we make more progress.
