Kitchen time.

And so it begins
The kitchen was a disaster, we could have lived with it the way it was, but the wallpaper gave us both vertigo. Nothing about it, the colors, layout, and otherwise reflected our style, plus the dropped ceiling made the kitchen feel no larger than a cardboard box. We had to start working on it ASAP.
Found these behind some cupboards

                                                           
Amber's first house project...ever.


Wall paper backsplash gone.
Time to take down that dropped ceiling

The nook is already looking better.




A nice little surprise, turned out to be dead.
A little water damage from the bathroom up above

More water damage




Paint color under the paneling, not the original, but the second color, probably from the 1940s.

Ceiling down

Must be where the original phone was. You can see the original salmon color from the 1920s.



Second little surprise. Dropped drywall ceiling at side entry.

The liquid nails used for the paneling was a pain, but it came off easy once I had a sharp scraper.

Nice little present behind the fridge.

More of the water damage.
