Wallpaper Rant

Tonight, I finally restarted my endeavor to take down the wallpaper in our kitchen.
I started about a year ago.
The people who owned this house before us loved wallpaper.
We don't.

Ugly wallpaper isn't like a horrendous paint color.
If you don't like the color of your walls, easy-paint them! Quick, easy, virtually painless.
If you tire of a color on your walls, or want to redecorate - easy enough!

But, if at 26 when you buy a house, you don't consider what ugly wallpaper in the house you're buying means to you - then you're in for it!
Now, 10 years later - we are finally redecorating our kitchen/dining room combo.
I am the wallpaper remover.
Husband is the sander, painter, designer - everything EXCEPT - the wallpaper remover.

The wallpaper in our house doesn't come off easily either.
First, I have to score.
Then, I have to spray Wallpaper remover stuff.
Then, I have to steam the wallpaper.
Lastly, I peal it off, many pieces having to be scraped.

So, before you hang that wallpaper. Know that if you are going to move one day - chances are very good that many people who look at your house won't like your wallpaper. And I won't be buying it unless you take it down first!
