When we removed the wallpaper, it was very clear WHY they had wallpapered. The walls were in terrible condition. The paint below was peeling off and there were tons of holes from nails and goodness knows what. We figured we needed more than a little jar of spackle so we had the drywall company (that we are getting to know pretty well!) come in. They did a skim coat on all of the walls which smoothed everything out and made the walls look new. It was amazing how much difference it made! They looked great! The picture looks a bit splotchy but that is because it was still not completely dry when I took the pic.
And finally, THE RED PAINT! I know a lot of you have been wondering about what this would look like... to quote my lovely mother in law "RED? Well, I guess now that you are my daughter in law I need to just smile and say I am sure that will be lovely :)" Well maybe she didn't say it quite like that but I am sure it's what most of you were thinking! Anyways, it is RED now and Jamie and I love it so hopefully you like it too. I especially like it with the yellow/orange kitchen color. They compliment each other really well. I don't know that the picture shows that very well.
Tom and I are going to put up the base moulding this weekend and I still need to finish up the trim. For my birthday Jamie bought me a new light fixture but it's on backorder so hoepfully that will come soon!
