Our Bedroom walls. Removed wallpaper. Spackled walls and ceilings. Repainted.
Back bedroom upstairs. Removed one wall that was wooden paneling!
Bye Bye Wooden Paneling. 1966 is long gone.
Those walls and closet also had wall paper removed. And we repainted that also, after 5 pounds of spackling repairs.
So much work to repair these plaster and lathe walls.
Hallway walls. Same story. Paper Removed. Walls repaired and painted. So much dust all over the house. Can't keep up with all the dust. Time to go run the vacuum. :)
We are getting there. Kinda. We do love the house more and more everyday with every little update.

Bedroom Closet
Bedroom Closet before was unuse-able.
Removed wallpaper, spackled and painted.
And this space was finally turned into an actual, use-able closet with shelves and hanging rods.
Finally able to get organized.

Sun Room Walls
Sun Room Wall Paper Removed!
Every inch of this house WAS covered in wall paper which was painted when we moved in.
We finally found a genius who agreed the paper needed to be removed and the walls repaired, rather than just skimming the old paper with spackle and repainting it. And that was the best decision ever!
So we peeled away many layers of life.
Then we spackled and painted blue and then ....
We thought it looked too smurfy, so we had to repaint it a Shade of Green.
The green is much better.

Attic Access Cut Open in Upstairs Hallway.
We cut an opening in the Hallway Ceiling for more accessible/easy access to Attic.
Installed a Retractable Stair Set and now have a great more amount of dry storage area in the house!
