Room Makeovers: Room 1 Day 2

Day 1:
The goal for today was to remove all of the wall paper from the walls, the main bedroom is the only room in the house that had been wallpapered. The entire room had been done from the walls to the wardrobe doors! what the heck were they thinking! Turns out the job was harder than expected but once we got into the groove we got it done.



Above: Attempt #1 at wallpaper removal included placing tape in random areas all over the wall and leaving it over night and then tearing it off the next day to remove enough paint and reveal enough of the wallpaper so that we could use the solution to soak it off without the paint preventing it from seeping through..... Wallpaper 1: Us 0

Above:  Attempt #2 involved using a scoring tool and running it over all of the wall in the effort to create enough little abrasions to allow the wallpaper removal solution to seep through..... Wallpaper 2: Us 0

 Above: Attempt #3 We got the paint scrapers out and scraped the paint off the top off the wallpaper. took a little bit of time and effort but finally we made some progress! Wallpaper 2: Us 1

 Finally the paint had been scraped off and the solution had been applied to the wallpaper and it started coming off!!! Such a good moment! Wallpaper 2: Us 2

The random red mark on the wall (no other red pain anywhere as i said it was all wallpaper) i kept saying it was a blood spatter ha ha

 The room stripped naked, including the wardrobe doors which we only decided towards the end that they would get stripped too.

In the end we reached our goal!! Wallpaper..... NONE!!!!!
