What's worse than having to rip wallpaper off the wall? Having to rip a layer of wallpaper, followed by a layer of paint, followed by another layer of wallpaper off the wall! AAGGHH!
I am determined to never put up wallpaper. It's not that I don't like the way it looks. What I despise is its removal. I am tempted to paint over the 80s floral papered walls in our bathroom but I just can't bring myself to do that to any future owners of this house. I've been there before...too many times! Too many times I have spent hours peeling and scraping borders and wallpapers that have been plastered for 20+ years. And one day, some new owner is going to want to change the look of this bathroom and I don't want her (whoever she may be) to have to struggle even harder due to the passage of time to start afresh with nice clean walls. AAGGHH! Why can't people just PAINT? |
