Here are some photos of the house: a work in progress!
Our breakfast area. The French doors to the left lead out into a giant screened-in porch. I love it! I got the table and chairs used for $150 from a craigs list ad. The gorgeous flowers are from our real estate agent, Mike.
We got a lot of house for the money!
This is the foyer, which leads into the dining room, family room and the front half of the house, which has a living room, two guest bedrooms and a bathroom.
the front living room, which I have plans to turn into a girly sitting room which can be converted into a tea room for special occasions. ☺
our family room – we went with some bold colors. I think once we get the art on the walls, it will come together (I took 9 prints to JoAnn’s last night to take advantage of their 60% off framing).
we bought new hardware to update the cabinets. We’re stripping the wallpaper soon, using a tip from our real estate agent, Mike. He said Febreeze works better than anything else getting wallpaper off!
here’s our sweet pup macey, who’s not sure what to think of her new digs.
the front guest bedroom… I love the extra storage below the window.

Hi there, I found your site while Googling for wallpaper removal tips. I realize this is an old blog but I was wondering how the wallpaper removal with Fabreeze worked out for you? I need some tips and was hoping that this one worked. Please let me know. Thanks!
