Okay, so I HATE wallpaper. Really, I do! When we bought our house 5 years ago my husband said, "oh, that should be easy to take off..." RIGHT!
Wallpaper in every room. Some rooms 5 layers thick! I'm telling you, it's like an archaeological dig! Layer upon layer upon layer! It's now my theory that the Devil created wallpaper. I can picture it now, the Devil, sitting in hell on a fiery thrown, laughing to himself any time some little old lady decides... "Ooo, I think I'll get this pattern. Yes, the one with all the flowers. It's beautiful." I hate that little old lady almost as much as I hate wallpaper. Maybe I can get her to come over, stand on a ladder, spray the walls down with fabric softener & water, then scrape, peel, and pick her way through to the wall underneath.
So... as I sit here, now, in my office (the one remaining room of wallpaper) looking at the walls, I wonder if I have it in me to finally take it down. I suppose with my three week break before heading back to school I should probably suck-it-up and just do it.
I'll keep you posted of the progress. Perhaps I'll peel off some layers and it will look like the face of the devil. Then maybe I could get some of those crazy religious people to come over and pray for Jesus to take off the wallpaper Devil for me in some kind of home-improvement miracle. (Would that be so wrong?)
