Here I am yesterday finishing the last wall. It appears that the previous owners glued down the edges with school glue and that crap does not come off with steam. Anyway, the removal job is complete but now I need to treat it with some chemical spray to remove the residue. Now you can also see the colour of our furniture.

Today is a tired and lazy kind of day. Last night I had an iced cappuccino at around 7:00. Bad idea! I didn't fall asleep until after 3:00. Norbert gets up whenever he senses that I have just fallen asleep. He started running and leaping up and down the hall with sound effects. I got up to put him in the basement but he just kept running away and hiding and laughing at me. Then my daughter's alarm clock went off. Then the smoke detector started beeping. Then a bunch of loud noises outside. They my husband who had had a good sleep got up. Then he came back in to get his clothes. When the phone rang for the second time I gave up and got up. So, yes. I am really tired today. No black dog but tired. 

I really like your suggestions for colour! Ironically, I do want  to do one accent wall in wallpaper. Since it will only be one wall and our bedroom is small it should not cost too much and if I hate it in two years I can remove it. Wallpaper made today just comes right off. 

Well, my chickadees are at their dad's and my husband is out so I have the house all to myself for a bit. Time to drink my coffee and read blogs.

  8. I reckon you need to enjoy those moments alone. And yep, get some rest! This is coming from a guy who forgets what time zone he lives in :)

    A peaceful Sunday to you.

  9. Kudos to you, that looks like a hell of a lot of work! Who puts wallpaper over itself?!

  11. Make sure you get some rest, something I need to do for myself.

    I love doing things around the house when I'm alone.
