The tacky wallpaper will come down! I've lived with it for far too long. I've got most of a wall done, except I still need to wash it to get the last of the glue off before I paint it. Oh, the wallpaper is only on two walls, by the way, and one of them has a window, so I'm over half done, I guess. Although I might wait on the second wall. I want to get this one done so I can finally install the cabinets I bought ::mumblemumble:: months ago. But this means that right now, my bed and computer desk are pulled away from the wall, and the computer is unplugged because I was using a spraybottle to get the wallpaper backing off. So I'm on my mom's computer right now, although I plugged my new keyboard into it so I can type more comfortably (vertical keyboard).

I still need to post the CBF pictures, I realize. I still need to do a lot of things.

Wow, no more weird rainbow/cloud motif?

no more rainbow/cloud on weird blue background. It will die!

Amazing!

What's your plan for paint? It might be cool to paint one wall a different color or something.

I was thinking of doing some sort of mottled look in neutral browns or something... I still have to look at paint, but I thought it would be nice to have it be not a solid color.

Kinda marbly? That could be nice. Of course, it's one of those fun projects where you have to wait for one coat to dry before you can do the second part.

Shouldn't be - I'll be putting both colors on at the same time...?

Depends on the look you want, I suppose, although be careful mixing browns while still wet, because housepaint is often a mixture of unexpected colors, and with all that's in brown, something weird could happen.

true... although I guess I could always paint over it if it turns into something nasty.

[shawk.livejournal.com]

This is true.

I don't know why I am so concerned about how you paint your walls, other than that I am bored out of my mind at work, but I found this possibly useful site:
