After much patching, we painted. I also pulled out the ugly brown carpet and installed vinyl flooring. If I was ever asked "Chelsea, what kind of flooring do you recommend for a DIY install?" My answer would be: vinyl.
My husband, Peter, and I work well together. We cook, clean, travel, work around the house, and occasionally throw a party or two. We have a few gardens, five cats, a crazy chocolate lab, and an old home. We hang out with friends and family and both have our own geek moments. Hopefully different pieces of our lives end up on here and maybe you'll take away a recipe or two.

The Dining Room
Our dining room had such ugly wallpaper, like the rest of the house, and ugly carpeting, and popcorn ceilings. It was such a mess. But, now it's beautiful.

More Kitchen Stuff
Along with removing the wallpaper, we also had to fix some of the other ugliness. Here's that fantastic floor, remember that we pulled up TWO floors above this one.

Oh the kitchen
When we moved in the kitchen was one of the least appealing rooms. They say kitchen and baths sell houses, we apparently missed that memo. There was wallpaper, mirrors with gold inlay, a pink counter top, pink trim, peel and stick tiles that were pulling up, and only one window. It was... a wreck.

From Wallpaper to Patched Drywall
We have two guest bedrooms on our second floor. They have always been ugly, and we knew they needed some love. So, in our effort to get our house ready to sell, we decided to tackle the guest bedroom on the right.
When we started, we thought "oh, removing the wallpaper will be easy! It should only take a couple of hours!"
We started with some ugly wallpaper, ugly trim, and seriously ugly drapes.
