In my Currently: April 2016 post I mentioned we were working on the gallery wall. When we installed the board and batten in the hallway we replaced the trim on the gallery wall, which required us to remove a strip of the wallpaper. It wasn’t hurting anyone but super annoying.

Remember back when I said I needed to blog about kitchen/dining/hallway wallpaper removal? Well, better late than never! First, let’s take a look back at the dining room soon after we moved in.
