You are teasing us with these close-ups! Can you back up a bit and let us see the whole room?

How long did it take to get the wallpaper and border down?

Hehe, sorry! No more teasing:

The wallpaper was not too difficult to take down, just tedious. It's a shiny vinyl-like material so I cut diamond shapes into paper, then sprayed the seams with warm water & fabric softener. After that it came off easily with a metal spatula, suppose it took about a day and a half to remove it all.

gastroc, I love what you did. It's beautiful in a quiet, timeless way. The wooden wreaths are gorgeous.

The Wood blinds look great.

Cool chandelier too. Fits the house.

Nice work so far. Doesn't it all take longer than you think?!

It's gorgeous! You should be so proud -- great job!!

Thank you all!

Biochem, oh yes indeed it does take longer than I could've ever imagined!! I'm ready to be done but there are a few rooms left lol.

It looks great! That wallpaper must have taken forever to get down.

Our new bungalow doesn't have wallpaper, but it DOES have terrible paint colors... so would you mind sharing your paint color?

No problem. I used Sherwin Williams colors but had them mixed at Lowes using Valspar paint. (Much cheaper, good quality; I highly recommend)

One accent wall is painted Prairie Grass (Pictured briefly but will post pictures after shelves are hung)

The three other walls are Balanced Beige.

The recess and lazy susan on the table is painted Dhurrie Beige.

Oh WOW...That looks amazing.

So pretty! Especially like your dining table & chairs & light fixture! Your dog feeding station is adorable...that niche is so perfect for storing the food canister. Beautiful floors and walls. Very nice!

Beautiful, serene and warm. I love your changes.

Very charming -- all of your hard work certainly paid off! :)

Very well done indeed!

I appreciated your stained woodwork. So much of what is shown now is white trim. It's nice to see how you decorated with the stained trim.

Nice space. I like the wreaths on the mirrors, cool.

Is that lyncrusta (sp?). I did not see where you have it in the room?

Thank you all.

Mtnrdredux, thank you and no it's actually paintable textured wallpaper from Lowes. It is in the recess in the dog feeding area.

I'm seriously liking that table & chairs. Are they new or treasured heirlooms (or something in between)?

Lovely room, very nice and inviting.

Oh, the dog station! Love, love, love! It's just gorgeous, all of it!

Thank you! The table and chairs are actually new.

What a great transformation!
