What Was I Thinking?

Yesterday, I started ripping... more like scraping wallpaper off the bathroom walls.  What was I thinking?  Actually, a week or so ago, I began the job.  As I stood in the shower, all I could see were the curling edges of the old paper.  Paper that we inherited when we moved to the camp five years ago.  It was pretty paper, but those curling edges were getting on my nerves.  So... I started ripping!  Well, today about 98% of the wallpaper is off, and 100% of everything that was in the bathroom is now on my bed.

My questions now...What to do next?  Decorating is not a strength and I have no idea what I want this room to look like when it is finished.  Any suggestions?  Thank goodness for long Alaskan winters.  I'll have plenty of time to figure it out.

  1. Do you have a pic "pre demo" or "in progress demo"?

  2. Bless you! My granny would have said you have started a rat killing, ha ha. With all the bathroom stuff on the bed, I guess y'all be sleeping in the tub LOL.

    Suggestion--go to HGTVs website for some ideas

    I've enjoyed your blog and think about you and your family often! Keep us updated on the bathroom makeover

  3. Allyson, thought about pics later today. Room is really small and hard to get a good shot.

    Donna, the rat killing has begun! Bed has been cleaned off and everything thrown back into the bathroom... floor that is!

  4. Hi Sherry: I don't know if this is your bathroom only or if you share it with the men. If the latter is true maybe earth colors or one I saw recently had red walls and as for accessories the sky is the limit. Gold goes really great and as the holidays approach of course Hunter Green. Good luck it will turn out beautiful. You have inspired me though for work in one of the bathrooms here. Love ya girl!
