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.
Yesterday we also went and saw the BYU Folk Dance Ensemble group. It was a lot of fun. They are all talented "kids" (dang we are old), and Lara likes to dream about what she wishes I could do.
