ALL the wallpaper comes down

The running joke of the house--well, one of them, is that the previous owners LOVED their wallpaper. it was in almost EVERY room on the main floor and even showed up in boarders upstairs too.

With the rain moving in, it was perfect weather to be inside, so with the girls down for nap, dad, G, mom and I got started on the big room--the parlor as we call it.

G was a machine, mom brought some great stripping compound and we all got right to work.

After nap, Eric brought the girlies out.  He also brought a sprayer and vinegar to try out dad's latest solution and it worked great!

Amara was happy to help G while Cora wanted to play in the barn (in between showers) and it seemed like we made short work of that big room!

We still had many more rooms to go, but I was really excited by how that first room went.  As luck would have it, I woke up Monday with stomach flu, but Eric, Mom and dad continued on--finishing the dining room and most of the downstairs bath. I couldn't believe the progress and I can't wait to pick out something amazing to go in its place.
