Your house is gorgeous. You've done so much work and it shows. I can't believe how much wallpaper you had to strip. I think living that one patch of bird paper is a cool touch. I'll check back soon, I want to see it when all the furnitures in. Take care Jessica. Karin Wow! Your house is gorgeous. You’ve done so much work and it shows.

Love the piece of wallpaper - what a good idea to frame it. We have an old house and I dread mentioning any renovation project because it always leads to more than we can handle - and we seem to give up. We have an old piece of child's linoleum under one of our rugs ( that I'd like to show off one of these days ) - congratulations!

Taking down wall paper is no easy task. It took me a whole year to finish taking down wall paper and decorate every room in my house. It's a 2200 Square foot house and it seemed like I would never finish. You're going amazingly fast, best of luck to you! You'll have to give us a whole house tour once you're done. I just love seeing before and afters! Way to go Jessica! Taking down wall paper is no easy task. It took me a whole year to finish taking down wall paper and decorate every room in my house.

The larger urban cities of Vancouver and Toronto have some of the highest housing costs in North America. the Maritime (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) have some of the lowest. in order to be able to pay my mortgage I will be renting rooms to workers and students. Until I begin earning more as an artist this is what I'll be doing. And truth be told it's a big house for just one person ;) A great site to check out the costs of housing in Canada is http://mls.ca There you can search by city, province or area using a clickable map. Thanks so much about the wallpaper. I'll be posting more pics once it's framed. Lorrie – it depends on where you live in Canada.

We're in reno-mode here too - oh so gradually. I love where you've left the wallpaper too. It's a great touch. Something very special. It must feel great seeing it all come together!

I am so jealous of your lovely big house. One day you will have to tell me how much it cost (privately of course). Reason I ask is, I suspect that house prices are considerably lower in Canada and we have talked about emigrating there.. Anyway, I looked at every picture on Flickr. I aplaud your decision to preserve the Blossom paper, as I caught my eye immediatly and I think it's lovely. Well done peaches, keep it up! Lorrie xx It all looks and sounds wonderful.
