We've been doing some little home repairs during the last month in order to get our house ready to sell (LONG story and not what we'd planned). Most of what we did isn't picture worthy and wouldn't even bear notice unless you were looking critically. The upstairs bathroom, however, has been bugging me for as long as we've lived here. So we finally made an improvement.
This is before. I've always thought the wallpaper was ugly, so we decided to remove it and paint. The tile could stand to go as well, but that is too big of a project for now. This wallpaper came off EASY. Each piece came off completely intact without any soaking.
However, we discovered another layer of wallpaper which was basically cemented to the wall. Thankfully, it only covered a small portion of the bathroom. Jim had bought some heavy duty spray that was supposed to help remove wallpaper and we were very glad to have it at this point. This stuff was no easy task.
What a mess!
Finished. I'd still love to get rid of the tile, but that just isn't a possibility right now.

The paint looks really nice! We discovered this summer that we hate wall paper and will never EVER put it up. It's just not fair to whoever has to take it down later. :o)
The bathroom looks great. So what's the scoop; where are you going to move to?
