It was a very quiet pattern and wasn't hurting anybody :D but when we "refreshed" the room a couple years ago, Mr Delightful wanted to be done with the ancient wallpaper. Of course, it was *my* job to remove it, and I must say it was easier than I expected it to be. You get this little tool you run over the walls that pokes holes in the paper. Then you get a spray bottle of warm/hot water and spray the daylights out of it and let it stand for a bit. Some came off in handy dandy strips, but there were some spots that took a bit of effort.Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-26229608928949637652017-11-02T05:50:10.191-05:002017-11-02T05:50:10.191-05:00Oh boy howdy!

May you enjoy the process of getting prepared and don’t forget to pace yourself. <br /><br />You and I have a mutual loathing for painting.

My dad did it a couple of times and it worked out okay, probably depends on the color of both. Don't know if you follow Bob Goff, but he had a great quote this morning and your comments on how God answers prayer reminded me of it...'The way we deal with uncertainty says a lot about whether Jesus is ahead of us leading or behind us just carrying our stuff' I've been thinking about these words all day.

I am not a DIY person, but when I was younger I painted everything in the house for walls to furniture, many times. the paint was so thick on my sons chest of drawers, maybe 7 layers of paint. kept changing the one wall of wall paper, paint the 3 walls, make the dresser match. that stopped in 1980, in 1985 I painted to bedrooms while bob was at work. one green and one beige, it was HIS house I moved into when we married and I had NO IDEA he doesn't like color on the walls, he WANTED it all white. so white it is and has been for 27 years in this house.MadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-29702147012040567752017-11-01T09:50:08.871-05:002017-11-01T09:50:08.871-05:00That village picture is beautiful and your little ...That village picture is beautiful and your little Reformer is adorable nailing his theses to the door.<br /><br />We have painted over wallpaper in several rooms, with varying degrees of success. In the main bathroom, the paper was falling off in numerous places, which gave me hope that it would all come off easily. It did not ... it stuck tenaciously in many areas. We did not have time to sand it all down properly and we intend to put white beadboard paneling over it anyway, so we did a rudimentary sanding and sponging and then painted over it. The walls have a sort of distressed look which I can live with until we have time to get the beadboard project done. <br /><br />I do think that might be the answer for your bedroom. I had never even really thought of such a thing until we were in one of the big home improvement stores (either Lowes or Home Depot; I'm pretty sure it was Home Depot) looking at options for the bathroom. While looking at the beadboard (it comes by the sheet, I think) we got into a conversation with another customer, a contractor who had done many renovations, and he highly recommended it. We loved the look of it, and the potential for very easy maintenance, so we will be going that route when we can carve out some time for the project.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-32139569294522331532017-11-01T09:39:56.024-05:002017-11-01T09:39:56.024-05:00Hello, cute shot of your son in the costume.

We had very little time to get the house ready and since we didn't live in the town with them, we had to travel each weekend just to paint. It was tacky and it truly surprised me that someone bought the house. <br /><br />The Fall picture is so pretty. I notice a sign Dallas. Enjoy your Thanksgiving this weekend.

I did find that using a steamer helped. There is wallpaper in the master bathroom here and it's from the 80s. That whole thing is going to be gutted though since you can see under the house from one part of the floor and the tiles are coming off. This man has been going to redo that bathroom for about 15 years now. I figure another couple years and it might get started. It will never be finished. Anyway... LOL I love that picture of the village. It's beautiful! Enjoy your early Thanksgiving!
