If you've been wondering what's going on in my world, you're lookin' at it. Apparently moving the study upstairs and turning the underwater room into a normal, non-psychedelic living space is a *huge* undertaking. Removing that God awful border alone was a two day project. Now I'm priming and crossing my fingers - as I whitewash over various ocean creatures and happy sea flora - that it will someday be possible to sit in this room and not see a shadow of Nemo or Moby Dick lurking on the wall behind you.
I know I'll be thrilled when this room is finished. Were it not for the seven other projects on my to-do list I'd be over the moon when this room is finished, but sadly more nasty border print is darkening the doorstep of my near future.
I thought I would be sad to see the Mac's personal aquarium disappear before my eyes, but I'm not. Good riddance to bad coral reef.

Wallpaper use should be a felony. I loathe it. Good work though, can't wait to see the results!
Oh I feel your pain. I'm the sworn enemy of all things "wallpaper." Grrr...
I hope it gets easier! You'll be quietly over-the-moon every time you walk by and see the results of your hard work.
You know-- I once put up a border. 3 years later I had to take it down.
I swore never again.
I HATE wallpaper. It's the worst. And I have a ton in my house from the previous owner. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to take it down myself. :P
YAY for redecorating! :)
We're about to embark on some wallpaper removal projects and I am SO not looking forward to it. I am looking forward to having the rooms redone though. Hopefully your project will inspire me to start. :) Good job!
When you buy a house, you should be able to make the previous opwners remove their wallpaper. You know, on that list of "conditions".
You can't though. They look at you like you are nuts.
I heard that from a friend, you know.
Just think of how exciting it will be when it's all done!!!
Getting rid of wallpaper is tidious, hard work. I hope to NEVER have to do it again.
But I can't wait to see pictures of the finished rooms!
I hope when you said you are whitewashing, you mean you are using Kilz to cover up the sea creatures! Otherwise, that whitewash won't last!...good luck-Bob
