Bye-Bye, Final Vestiges of 1980’s Mauve & Baby Blue Country Chic Wallpaper

I can’t believe it’s taken us twelve years (when we moved into our house in 2000, I started ripping the 1980’s GEESE IN THE SHAPE OF HEARTS mauve and baby blue wallpaper off of the kitchen walls the moment the door closed on our movers) … but we have finally (finally!) rid our home of the (I’m sure it was very classy 30 years ago) 1980’s accouterments:

It was crazy how quickly today Fred and I moved from total lethargy and even inertia (“No way are we up for a home repair project.”) to counting yellowed plastic outlet covers (and buying beautiful new white ones!) and buying the quart of paint necessary to re-do the space. (It’s a very small bathroom.)

 Not a lot of financial investment necessary … just good ol’ elbow grease and effort. (After six hours of meticulously scrubbing wallpaper glue off of every inch of the walls, I felt very comfortable giving myself credit for exercising for the day.)

Will post the “new and improved” pics hopefully later this week (right before Samaralara comes for a visit over the weekend—that’s our little self-imposed “deadline”/goal for completion).

Hope your Saturday was a blessed one too!

All the best,
Tara B.
