Aside from the double layers of wall paper in a few rooms, this should be quick work, right? Well...
See this bathroom?
See how it looks like it's been painted?
All I need to do here is pry the toilet and towel rack off the wall, sand a little, and then repaint later.
right?
Right?
...Turns out a previous owner originally used wallpaper, and then when someone redecorated, they just painted over the wallpaper. Found that out after the towel rack tore through some of it.
So that's 5 rooms I have to tear paper out of now...cool...
And it looks like I'm dealing with a few different types of glue. One is spray mount, which makes removing the wood floors surprisingly easy. Except for this floor;
Different glue. hmm...
This might take a while.
Try Yes paste. You can get it at Micheal's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice. I was wondering how I was going to redo the wallpaper. The last house I did was new and I just painted the whole thing, but I would have to do a ton of sanding and priming in this house for that. Wallpaper(scrapbook) is probably the way to go on this project.
