Two weeks I have been working on this room and it's a mess. Here is the before I started photo,
That's right blue walls and green polka dots, whoever lived in this house had absolutely no style. You may think this would be an easy fix but wait.... they painted this over wallpaper that was starting to peel, so I hired a wallpaper steamer thinking this would be a weekend job, the steamer didn't work at all because it could not penetrate the paint, so for the last two weeks I have been stripping a little section at a time with good old fabric softener and water. The room looks like a disaster and to make matters worse whoever applied the wallpaper did it to unsealed walls which means that the paper on the plasterboard is coming off with the wallpaper. At this point with the mess the walls are in I'm thinking that I may have to wallpaper the walls again, this is the room half way through.
Any suggestions!
