Living on Lucky Street

This is the story of a girl who bought a house and lived to tell the tale. And yes, it's really on Lucky Street.

Wallpaper, wallpaper, wallpaper....


More of why wallpaper is evil.

We also began tearing out the closet in the bedroom above the dining room.

I began taking off the wallpaper. All 18 layers of it.

Tearing Stuff Up...


We then tore off the broken mantle and closet in the Dining Room.


The next week, Craig tore down the chimney that ran through the kitchen.

Signing Day

We knew the first day that we were going to be making some changes. And plans began immediately.

My kitchen appliances. My aunt found me a great deal--oven/microwave combo, dishwasher, bar sink, kitchen sink, and several recessed lighting fixtures--all for $250.00.
