 Here's my kitchen. Marla and Nicole couldn't stand it. I didn't mind it so much, but now, seeing the finished product I realize the girls were right to dislike the wallpaper. |  First we needed to remove the wallpaper. This was the most time-consuming and difficult of all the stages. We tried "scoring" the wall - that didn't work. I tried to heat the wallpaper up with my iron - but that just melted stuff. So, we just had to peal off everything by muscle and skill. |
 We then had to remove the sticky residue from the wallpaper. This wasn't so bad, but it definitely wasn't fun. We used fabric softener and some other specialty stuff - they both worked about the same. |  The girls taped up everything. I couldn't help but start painting - I was too excited to see if the color looked good rather than help tape. Thanks for taping, girls. Magically the name "Beast Master" showed up on the wall. I swear I don't know how it got there. |
 Here's the walls all painted. The color looks great! It really makes the white cabinets stand out. |  On another day we painted the stripes. From watching a designing show I got the idea to do two stripes along the upper part of the wall to help make the room look bigger. |
In another few days I'll post a couple "before-and-after" photos. The dual stripes need to be fixed a little (we used normal tape, instead of the blue tape, which tore off some of the base paint) and I'm doing a matching set of vertical stripes in my family room - I'm hoping it'll tie the rooms together. Over all, the kitchen looks 724.5% better then it used to! Thanks Marla, Nicole & Rob!
