beginning again

Today we started in on the hallway. It is the smallest room in the house so we thought it would be "easy". Now i have watched enough renovation projects to know that none of this is "easy" but still - i was/am naive.


It appears to me that at some point in time every square inch of this house was covered in wallpaper. Most rooms seem to have multiple layers. There are also tell-tale seams on most of the ceilings that make me think are are a few layers of joyous paper up there too. We scraped and scraped. My mom says that we are doing this so that the walls will have a nice finish once we paint them. I am kind of thinking that i want to continue painting over the layers of wallpaper.


Really, i am just glad to be doing something. Hopefully the project will keep me from the brink of seasonal depression. Or it could drive me over the edge. Guess it could go either way. We'll see. But at least my hallway will be "Kona brown."
