Dining Room...Soon to be the Parlor

This was the dining room when we first looked at the house.  This is not our furniture.

After dewallpapering the kitchen (in April) we through we would move to the dining room.  We were not wallpaper pros yet.  So the lovely work you see here took hours.

But with time we learned.  I found that you can tear the paper off the wall and it is much easier to wet the backing the scrap it off.  And then... you can get to the 70's wallpaper that was underneath. Luckily this room had been primed before they put up wallpaper.

It took most of two weeks to get down.  A little patching, a little priming and we have a new dining room!

Note:  If you didn't notice, the chair rail and trim magically changed from a deep brown to white.  In the coming months this will happen to all of the doors and trim in the whole house.  It makes the house look so much cleaner.
