nesting motivation

In the last few weeks in the womb
this little darling,
re-vamped the kitchen.

Wells,
she didnt do it-
but mother nature,
in the form of
[nesting]
kicked my butt into gear
which in return kicked Pauls butt into gear
and we tore down the last bit of horrid wall paper in this house.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lard!

-Before-
a pic of the kitchen covered head to toe in wallpaper- before we bought the house.
It sat like this until Bertha kept kicking my ribs telling me to
TAKE IT DOWN!

-During-
What was hiding under the wall paper.
Such loverly detail.
But wait- theres more!
A breath taking teal green wall.
How very 90's.
-After-
All we did was paint and add new decor.
There is still more to do.
There is ALWAYS more to do.
(like get rid of the flourescent lighting, get new flooring, new appliances,
countertops....bla bla bla)
A little face lift never hurt nothin.
'cept Mr. Wallpapers feelings...
