Kitchen Border Wallpaper Removal

I have spent enough days staring at this hideous border in the kitchen.  Today it annoyed me for the last time.  I took some photo's of it being removed and will update this post with finished photo's as the job progresses.  Enjoy!

Next Step
Now that the hideous border is removed I used drywall compound and smoothed out the gouges in the wall.  These pictures are of a first coat.
Kitchen with everything primed.
Finished Photo's
We went with a bone color and later I will be putting up a back splash to cover between counters and cabinets.

Product I used to help take off the border was DIF.

    Sometimes border seems harder to remove than entire walls of wallpaper. I like your changes. It was worth the hard work.

    It looks so much better! Plus it makes the decor on the cabinets pop - well done!

    it's amazing how much brighter and "younger" it looks. i want to paint my kitchen a similar color when we redo it. it's a great celery-ish green now, but it's a dark space and i think it needs to be lightened up. great job on yours!
