This is my kitchen before our new table & chairs in the next pictures. Notice the apple border. Has to go!
Well, for some reason I decided to start peeling down wallpaper today in my kitchen. I’m exhausted and still not finished!
When we moved in, about 9 months ago, everything had been freshly painted. Nothing HAD to be painted and still doesn’t, but I’m ready to put my own touches on it. I’m not a primitive, folksy, apple kinda gal. I would say I’m more of a Pottery Barn, TJ Maxx, flea market, yard sale kinda gal. : )
I guess we’re starting in the kitchen since I started pulling the border off and realized that they painted one shade darker above the border and a shade lighter below. I JUST NOW NOTICED! It was so subtle, you couldn’t even tell until the border came down. Well, now it has to be painted. And guess what color I’m painting it…green! LOL! Well, it is a completely different shade of green – Fresh Olive to be exact.
Notice the two different color greens where I pulled down the border. Do not notice the clutter and mess on the bar area.
Of course the paper came off in two layers.
The way our family room and kitchen flow together, I think I’m going to go ahead and paint them both the same color so that it looks like one big room instead of two rooms like the previous owners had it.
OH….so many choices and so little money! I’ll keep you updated with photos as I go along. Hopefully, we’ll finish up over the weekend. Wish me luck! : )
