One night, a few weeks ago, I saw our bedroom painted a sage color. Since then I’ve been thinking of removing the wall paper. I started today.
The paper on the north wall has been hanging off the wall in some places since we moved in the house.
It was a fun place to start. I got most of the wallpaper off that low wall with just a scraper. It came off in big sheet.
There were three layers of paper, the one closet to the wall with a rodeo and cowboys and cactus. the photo above is of the largest piece that I found so far. As I scraped it off, it broke into a few pieces, but I saved them all. Don’t know what I’ll do with them, if anything.
Just one cowboy didn’t come off easily. I’m going to leave him there and paint around him.
I heard the Florence, who lived in the house for over 80 years was always repapering the wall. I guess this was her sons room at one time.
