Flip this Bathroom!

I spent part of tonight watching some of those home improvement shows and I started to feel motivated, I started to feel powerful! If these common people can renovate then why not me? I have been in the process of redoign my bathroom, but so far all that has entaled has been taking some wall paper off- so tonight I decided to do some more work. I spent an hour on one wall and in all that time all I got done was removing the glue. Note to people: wall paper is never a good thing after 1989, and it is certainly not a good idea in a bathroom. So after an hour of scraping wiping and washing the wall I gave up. Rome was not built in a day nor will this bathroom be redone over night.

So I will try to share my joureny with this bathroom as I make advancements. My goal is to have the wall paper all scraped down by next weekend. Lets see if I can get my lazy butt to work on it! I wish I was rich I would just hire people to do my work for me. Oh well back to my scraper!

..it is a lot easier to remove if you rent a wall paper steamer...it will come down in minutes that way.

Quite a few years ago I did our living room, by myself. I used a BIG sponge and soaked sections at a time with warm water. Waited a few minutes and scraped it off - easily. Then washed the residue off. Didn't cost me a cent.
