Uh, that would be a no!! Okay, so all the wallpaper is down and the walls are clean of paste and gunk! I should be painting but....that can't happen just yet. You see, the wallpaper has been up for over 25 years and when Harley Man steamed it all off...well, we have some pitted walls!!! No..not his fault at all....it's the darn wallpaper's fault. Harley Man was a saint to get it all off and I can't thank him enough for all his hard work. I will NEVER, EVER put up wallpaper again, NEVER!!!
So today, we have the drywall contractor here mudding(skimming is the technical term) the walls to get them all smooth and beautiful again so I can paint. Yep, more men in the house!!! It's only 12 days till Christmas, right??? So much for an easy paint project. Nope, panic has not set in just yet! I mean..I have 11 more days!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah, say a prayer for a miracle if you will please!!! Thank you so much!

Boy, I have been there with the wallpaper and the pitted walls. What a mess. You did a fabulous job on the living room. Give yourself a big pat on the back and definitely a glass of wine.

Thanks so much Laura! Yes, it is a mess but looking so much better now that the walls are being skimmed. Hopefully they'll be finished tomorrow and I can get back to painting soon!!!!!!
