the room

Well I'm in the process of shuffling furniture around in the back room again. I know what I'd like to do, and it involves built in cabinets all along one wall, possibly a built in desk, and new carpet.

So today is phase 1: remove wallpaper. I was fearing the process would be much like it was with the duck wall paper. An event only my brother and parents are likely to remember, but it was this really thin wall paper, that I kid you not came down in tiny pieces. I don't ever remember getting a piece off bigger than my hand. Ever. We spent days on one 12 foot long wall.

So far I've taken down one whole width of wall paper in three pieces. This is HUGE! now that I know where the edges are it'll come down really fast. Then it's just glue removal, which is easily enough done with a sponge and a lot of water and some other agent. (vinegar for those who like the acid method, or downy for those who like the alkaline method)

I hope to have an all done post later today. Then the painting! The light fixture removal!
