Wallpaper Mania

I know it was the "thing" in the 60's and the 70's and I think it even made a come back in the 80's but I loathe wallpaper. When I bought my house last year the only room that had wallpaper was the kitchen and it was also the smallest room in the house. My first thought was, "OK I'm good, I can rip that down in no time and I'll just repaint." Well I did that "little job" this weekend and let me tell you it was pure hell. That wallpaper was stuck to those walls like superglue. What do they put that stuff on with anyway? I scraped, wiped, sprayed, cussed and ripped my way through and what I thought would maybe take me a couple of hours, ended up taking me all day and all night. Not to mention what it did to my already damaged back.

I have to make this statement, if someone gave me my dream house and it was every thing that I wanted BUT it had wallpaper I would walk away. I LOATHE wallpaper because at some point in time you will want to change the look of your room and it will have to come down! Unless you can afford to pay someone, it''s pure hell.

Sorry had to vent my wallpaper madness moment. Just paint people, just paint. Wallpaper is out of style anyway and it's easier to take care of anyway.
