DIY Bathroom and Awards
I am crazy busy today and so don't have much time to impart the great pearls of wisdom that oh so often spout from my thoughts onto this blog (humor me, okay?). I am going to get started on one of my goals today. I am going to attempt to tear down some (hopefully all) of the truly hideous wallpaper. Any tips?
This is what my bathroom looks like now. As you can see, it needs a lot of work.


I also just decided that I want to paint the cabinet in there.
I am thinking either a bright lipstick red, a soft cool blue, or a country cream color and distressing the edges. The walls are going to be a beautiful sunshine yellow, the ceiling a stark white... any opinions on the cabinets? See, I have never really tackled a project like this before, so all the help I can get is greatly appreciated.
On a completely different note,
I have to thank the wonderful Michelle at Chocolate and Marmalade Tea for an award.

I love getting awards! They make me feel so happy and loved. I think everyone deserves an award. More awards should be given to more and more people. So, after consideration of who to give this award to- I hate picking- I decided to follow Michelle's example and give this much coveted award to all who leave a comment. You all deserve it. You all have fantastic blogs!
Now go get yourself a lemonade and enjoy your day outside under a tree with a good book!

Whew! On another note, I just went into Keith's room because he had been calling me for a few minutes (instead of napping) and I got there just in time to hear him say "climb out." and dive over the edge of his crib. Lucky for my Lightning Fast Super Mom Reflexes I caught him before he hit the floor, but I tell you what, my adrenaline is going crazy right now! It may be time to find this young man a toddler bed instead of a crib.

Wallpaper is really easy to remove if the person put it up properly... which it seems like most don't. BOO! Anyhow, if you can get your hands on a steamer, that's the easiest way. Otherwise, get a spray bottle and fill it with warm water. Then get your scraper (4-6" probably) and have at it. Once you've got the wallpaper down you need to wash the walls with TSP (which you can get at Lowes or Home Depot). That'll dissolve the glue and prep the wall for paint!
Uh... I can't think of anything else. Oh! If you paint your cabinet, make sure to sand it a bit first so that the paint will stick.
And take pictures for us ;)
congrats on your award!
