Beginning of Renovations

Last night after dinner we started to take all of the pictures down from the walls in the living room, dining room, bathrooms and hallways. Then I went around and pulled about a thousand nails from the walls! Today the guy we hired is coming to start taking down the wallpaper and painting. It should take them about 4 days. Hopefully not longer than that! It will be nice to get the wallpaper down because I looks like crap in a couple of spots like here:



and here:




Anyway, we are just having them paint a neutral color, sort of a beige white because I have no clue what to do with the flooring yet.

Other renovations hopefully will include: New counter, sink cupboards and stove in the kitchen. New counters and sinks in both of the bathrooms. New flooring in the entryway and possibly new carpeting throughout. I want to try to do a lot of the stuff myself. I think installing a wood floor is not too hard to do.

I'm up for the challenge!
