A Kitchen Redo

We decided awhile ago that we wanted to redecorate our kitchen. Our goal was to take down all the wallpaper, put up a backsplash, and paint the walls, something we thought would be easy to do and wouldn't take long. So the first thing on the agenda...taking down the wallpaper. Oh what a task this was. Throughout the whole kitchen we had to take down 4-6 layers of wallpaper and border!! This took us several days to do. Isabella even helped out.After we got the wallpaper down, we changed up our game plan a little. A couple walls were not in good enough shape to paint so we found this cool textured wallpaper that looks like Rafita that will go on those walls. We are also enclosing the wall and putting in a door that goes out into the "den" and that will become our home office/scrapbook room/etc. So the next thing on the agenda was the backsplash. I came up with the idea to use self adhesive vinyl tiles rather than regular tile because it was a lot less expensive. It turned out awesome. We just have a little trim work to do and that project will be complete.Our kitchen is finally coming together. We are hoping to get most of the painting done this weekend and maybe get the door put in. If that works out as planned, all we'll have left is the wallpaper and our kitchen will finally be complete. This has been quite the project but once it's done I'm sure we'll love it!! More pics to come as we make more progress!!

Until next time...
