It was hideous and peeling in most places. I couldn't repaint over it or remove it (not my house) so I casually ripped off little pieces as I went by. My efforts were hardly noticeable, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34024666.post-1160520997458178652006-10-10T15:56:00.000-07:002006-10-10T15:56:00.000-07:00We had blue carousels with sickly looking pink pon...We had blue carousels with sickly looking pink ponies adorning the walls of the room officially referred to as the "office" in the realtor's Disclosure Packet. And as your eyes swept upwards towards the lofty 8 foot ceiling there was a tasteful border of some peony-like flowers connected by ribbons. My attempts at painting over this monstrosity were weak. We're now remodelling and the walls are gone gone gone....Do you think the spirit of the wallpaper can somehow linger?mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15194885937393120805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34024666.post-1159630799794650022006-09-30T08:39:00.000-07:002006-09-30T08:39:00.000-07:00HA!

Two of which were flocked, so they left this weird texture... instead of hassling with removing the paper, Jason is going to *rip the walls out down to the framing* and re-sheetrock, because that's easier than dealing with the horror of ugly paper and ancient glue.Laureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481258874805195562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34024666.post-1159396782918461922006-09-27T15:39:00.000-07:002006-09-27T15:39:00.000-07:00Thrakkerzog: I agree, pink bedroom walls would be ...<B>Thrakkerzog</B>: I agree, pink bedroom walls would be unbearable; we painted over them before we could bear moving in. The good part was that we <I>could</I> paint over them, unlike the dingy wallpaper in the other rooms.Chet Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250991041464602854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34024666.post-1159204493489246262006-09-25T10:14:00.000-07:002006-09-25T10:14:00.000-07:00kansas jeff: My recommendation: just condemn the h...<B>kansas jeff</B>: <BR/>My recommendation: just condemn the house and build anew. You have the rest of Kansas to build upon, and abandoning your current floral horror is by far the easiest way to go here.<BR/><BR/>Remember the classical lessons of Carthage, Pompeii, and Gomorrah; these cities were seen as a lost cause because of the amount of wallpaper. Tragic, but sadly necessary wholesale destruction.<BR/><BR/>The famous library at Alexandria was also brought down due to an irreparable situation of striped wallpaper. Think of how far that wallpaper-driven loss set back humanity.<BR/><BR/>Even the Trojan war can be traced to wallpaper; Helen was being brought back to take down the hiddeous fruit-and-bird wallpaper that she'd put up all over the palace.<BR/><BR/>Face it; it's a knock-down.Chet Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250991041464602854noreply@blogger.com
