This is what the kitchen looked like before. It is impossible to describe the true ugliness of the wallpaper but the next picture shows a close-up. They say a picture tells 1,000 words but this still leaves me speechless.
This is where we are at now. Yesterday, Lara helped me finish stripping the ugliness off the walls. I have been surprised that underneath all that, the walls actually used to have a decent white paint on it. Plain, yes, but not ugly. Soon we will be texturing then painting the walls.
