The joys of 65+ years of wallpaper. At least 5 layers.

There were more flowers on the top layer of wallpaper that peeled off quite easily.

As for the rest just peeling off; not so much.

Did you know that a regular metal kitchen spatula works great for scraping walls?

In this corner, I got it scraped all the way down to the original plaster wall that appeared to have been painted blue with a brown border.

I\'m attempting to paint the ceiling. I suck at tools with long handles.

Aren\'t my Dwayne Wayne glasses so stylish? At least they are functional to keep me from blinding myself with paint.

After the primer.

Primer is done.

This tiny space has 4 door openings.

The paint reveal: RED!

The first coat goes on

Mom edges around the ceiling. Who needs painters tape?

The hallway is ready to have the shelves added so it can become a mini-library.

All done!
