So long wallpaper

Update – The walls are clean and the rug is out of here. I uncovered some problems on two walls. My plan is to leave it for a while to make sure they are dry and mold free before I repair the plaster.




On a completely different subject, I managed to pry open two windows. Woohoo!

Let's get crafty

Welcome to my new craft room.  Yes, it does need a little work.  We have wallpaper over a thin layer of plaster, and the plaster is over plywood.  Since this is a craft room, I intend to just throw stuff at these walls and see what happens.  I'll keep you posted on my progress, or lack thereof.  It will be good practice for the living room.

True Blue

The future Man Cave.  Imagine it filled with guitars and a pool table.

A little wax and a lot of work.




It will be a while before I show off pictures of the walls in this room, but the floors look nice.
