Flushed with a youthful enthusiasm, I took a day off of work to start stripping the wallpaper in two rooms of the house. I had been ensured by people whom I trust that this would be an easy job. I started in the bedroom. One wall of the bedroom had been papered in a blue pattern which I found rather pretty. It was pretty decrepit, though, and so I treated the wall with the chemical I had been told would take off the wallpaper just like that.
This is what happened...
OK, it only SORTA took the wallpaper off the wall. After a minor panic attack (my mantra that morning was "Stephanie's gonna kill me"), I went back and treated the wall a second time.
Ta-da! The remaining paper came off, clean as a whistle.
Now, all that was left to do was to clean off the remaining wallpaper paste, fix any holes, prime the wall, and repaint it.
