Stripping Is Hard Work.

Wallpaper, that is.

I am almost done with the main wall in our front hallway.  I am trying to find creative new words to describe how much I HATE wallpaper.  It's killing me.  The thing is that even after it's off, the walls are in TERRIBLE shape and will need so much work.

I got this cool tool that really helped this week, thanks to the recommendation of Becky Booty from my derby team.  I don't remember the name, but it's sold in the wallpaper-removing section.  (Which, again, is huge.  If you want to re-read my rant about hanging wallpaper, go HERE.)  It is this little round tool that scores so you can strip the paper easier.  It helps, but this is still a huge job.

 See all those little teeth?

If you squint really hard, you can see that I scored "Kiki" into the wall.  My mom helped a bunch with this wall and the dining room wall, so I'm thankful to her hard work!  She did her whole kitchen here, so I can't even imagine!  Ugh!  Wallpaper!  I hope I never have to do this again.  Ever.  EVER.
