Kitchen Renovations - Day 2

This is a close up of the wallpaper. It's called Pine Spot and it can be found in the Livin' Lodge book on page 98 or 160. I bought this wallpaper online from http://www.usawallpaper.com/ It's a great site with lots of wallpapers to choose from and the prices are reasonable. Their service is great. The best thing about it all is I stayed at home with my glass of iced tea and shopped in my jammies!

Today the wallpaper started to go up. We put it up right over the paneling and had no problems at all with it. I wouldn't want to try to do it by myself though. Fortunately, I had Linda to help me. She and her husband have a successful painting business, so she knew all the ins and outs of it, and I'm not a total novice at it either. I've had wallpaper at every house I've owned. You can really see the difference in the color on the trim and the paint above the paneling now. We carried the trim color all the way around the room by painting all the kitchen cabinets the same color.
