After 2 very long days of working to remove that 8’ x 8’ area of really stubborn wallpaper, it’s finally off! Gone! I should have just rented a wallpaper steamer to start with but I kept thinking it wasn’t worth it for such a small area….I didn’t have that much more to do…etc. Ha! Live and learn.
So I went from this mess…

…to this. It looks better already with just a coat of primer on it!
I’m off to Lowe’s today to buy the paint. Can’t wait to show you what color I finally decided on (after much waffling back and forth).

Yay! You did it! Great job! I know that is such hard work. Now you need to go out and buy yourself something for the room as a reward! :-)

Lookin' GOOD girlfriend!!
Pat yourself on the back for
all your effort! Believe me, I know, a small area can kick your butt, but it's all worth it when you're done.
I can't wait to see the finished room!! :0)
I hope you have an absolutely WONDERFUL and safe 4th of July!
I had to start a new blog, my other one had some problems that were over my head to fix.
I hate that! So stop by and say hey if you get a chance. I'll be checking back to see your room and it's dazzling transformation!!

Hi Shari,
Oh, how I remember trying to get wallpaper off. When we first moved into the house I put wallpaper border close to the ceilings in every room. Big mistake. I started to hate it. I decided when it was time to repaint a room I would take it off.
I could not believe how hard it was. Well the first room was easy, but the second was all pain.
I bought the liquid that they say will make it come off easy,no way. Someone told me about renting a machine to take it off and than a neighbor said she used a steamer that she uses on her clothes. I did that and it came off.
I like the border in one room and it will stay, but I have one more room that has it and next year I am going to take it off.
So I know what a mess and trouble it can be.
Can't wait to see what color paint you choose.

It is looking good, Shari. I can't wait to see your new color!! I am back from my Holiday, stop over and see my pictures of the rugged Rocky Mountains. Hugs ~cindy s~
Shari,
The worst part is over. Now the fun part begins. :)
Congratulations, Shari! You've finished removing all the wallpaper! You've reached the fun part! I can't wait to see what color you choose!
Have a safe and happy July 4th!

Oh, I feel your pain. I have a whole wall like that. I have used fabric softener, DIF, a professional steamer, you name it. I peel off a sliver of paper at a time.
Someday, I'll get it done and NEVER use wallpaper again.
Congrats on getting yours done.
Looks like you will be busy, it is such a wonderful feeling when it is all done. I have done jobs like this and you seem to never think it will end. It does and you will probably never use wall paper again LOL. Hugs
