The End of the Wallpaper

When I last left off our kitchen was in a bit of a disarray. But by the end of Thursday night (aka the end of the 6th day of striping), the section around the refrigerator had been completely stripped of wallpaper.
Now before you get excited thinking we stripped all the wallpaper in less than one week, this is what the rest of the kitchen looked like.


So while I got to work on all the rest of the wallpaper, the boy started sealing the drywall.
You might have noticed from the pictures that the actually walls took quite a bit of damage. Luckily the sealant was able to primarily fix it. Its not perfect up close, but it definitely work. And really when you think about it, it almost looks like we purposely textured our walls!

After letting the sealant dry overnight, it was finally time to paint.
If you look on the right side of the picture you can tell there is still wallpaper. That's what I was doing while he was painting. Although I'm sure if you ask him, he'll say I was only wasting time taking pictures.

While we weren't completely done with the painting, we were finished enough to bring in the fridge.
We know the fridge is just a tiny bit to big. The boy measured the height and width, but didn't remember to check the depth. Instead now we just have a really big and nice fridge.

Now that there's actually a fridge in the house, it means we can officially start living there! This is actually the first entry I've written in the new house, because honestly, though we could have moved once we had a fridge, we really had to wait until we had internet or cable!
