Good evening friends.  Well, my relaxing day was not to be.  This morning, Greg had to go to Home Depot.  I knew I was going to redo the dining room sometime but had no timeframe in mind.  I decided to go look at paint samples while he was looking at whatever he was looking at.  I picked out probably 10 cards with colors on them.  Then we went to Harbor Freight because Home Depot didn&#39;t have the tool he wanted.  I told him I was going to sit in the car and ponder my color choices.  By the time he got out, I had picked the 2 colors I was going to use in the room.  It is going to be a lighter color on top with a chair rail and a darker color down low.  Then we will be installing crown molding and picture frame molding.  Anyway, went back to Home Depot and got the paint and I have spent the afternoon stripping wallpaper and applying primer.  The room hasn&#39;t been redone since we had the house built 8 yrs. ago and I was in my froofy victorian phase then so the walls are a dark wine, and then I put a floral wallpaper over that shortly after painting it.  I have never had so much trouble getting wallpaper off.  There is a large archway leading into the dining room, and I only got it stripped from there to one corner, which is about 6 ft. and it took me 3 hours.  I am going to paint the first coat as soon as the primer dries. I want to get it at on at least one wall so I can see if I really like it or not - sometimes the colors look so different on those little cards. I am pooped, but am covered in primer so may as well tackle it before I clean up.  My hair is full of paint, so hope it comes out.  I know it will turn white someday, but primer is just not a good look.  Well, was just checking in so better go see if it is dry enough to forge ahead...
