Master Suite

The master suite is the full width of the house which is nearly thirty feet, divided by an arch.  It has a bump out with three humongous windows and two other huge windows as well.  It has the tiniest closet though.  Mint green and pink are not my colors.

Removal of linoleum from wood floors is not my favorite demo task.
We had a contractor look at the flooring and it's totally salvageable.  We don't even have to remove all of the black goo, YIPPEE!!
The top layers of painted wallpaper peeled off in giant awesome sheets.
I love the barbershop pole.
The thin plastic tiles, though...interesting, had to go.  There had been three kitchen "remodels" over the years, each adding a layer of wallpaper and various other layers.
The ceiling was originally painted a bright cherry red in the north half of the suite.

Paper is down in the North half and the walls are repairable.  The ceiling however fell one night when no one was around...fortunately.
The South half of the suite has four huge windows, an arch, and two doors.  There is very little wall space.
That means the paper stripping went quickly:)

Now we're ready to fix up the walls.
