It finally happened, we finished taking down all the wallpaper upstairs in Gram’s house! Every strip that came off felt like one more step toward bringing this old home back to life. It’s been a slow, steady process full of laughter, dust, and plenty of surprises and this weekend, with the help of my amazing mother-in-law Becky and my husband Jesse, we hit a huge milestone.
As we worked, we uncovered all kinds of little “treasures” written on the walls, names, dates, doodles, and notes from years gone by. Each one felt like a whisper from the past, a reminder that this house has held so much life and love long before we started our own story here. With the upstairs officially wallpaper-free, we’re heading downstairs next, the dining room, foyer, and that last stubborn little border in the living room. I can finally see the light at the end of this wallpaper tunnel!
It’s hard work, but every layer we peel back brings us closer to making this home truly ours, and somehow, it feels like Gram is right here cheering us on.
