Wallpaper Hell

So, Eric and I are working on the upstairs of our house, repainting, etc. Our house was built in the early 1990's, and came complete with mauve carpeting throughout the house and gaudy green with pink rose wallpaper in the upstairs bathroom. I borrowed a friend's steamer and set to work on my now 6' x 6' room of hell.

The genius that owned the house before us wallpapered over wallpaper in the bathroom. Amazingly, the print they put on top was no better than the original print! Still green, but this time had little pink flowers and the original had big pink flowers.

Anywho, removing two layers is a pain in the rear. The top layer came down pretty easily. The bottom layer, not so much. I finally finished this weekend, ripping off large chunks of the drywall paper in the process.

Now, I am the spackling queen. My bathtub is full of wallpaper, but I'm getting there. We are also painting both bedrooms. The smaller bedroom should be interesting. The same genius that papered over paper in the bathroom painted OVER the wallpaper in the bedroom. More on that room later.
