I simply can't stand it anymore....the bedroom decor. I'm not a big football fan and hubby is, so I decided it's the perfect time to get that uglyass old wallpaper border of 18 years off the walls. This also had a small wood trim piece on both the top and bottom of the bordor which was the first to go.....yippeee! Looks like I'll be busy for the next couple of days :D

but I couldn't give up my football to do that, actually I'm getting bummed already that it's almost over.
So I guess that means I will have to do something too.

Good luck CC, wallpaper can be a pain to take off, but when finished, it is a feels good, likeyou really accomplished something. Over the past couple of years I have slowly taken all the wakllpaper in my house down. Right now, all three of the bedrooms in my house need overhauls, and we are in the middle of doing the bathroom, hubby's doing it him self, and has sorta stalled half way thru. He is retiring at the end of the month, now no excuses about having time or energy to finish it, I might actually get it done! Or at least I better!

I feel your pain, CC. In our old house, the previous owners had border wall paper up in every single room. Even the bathrooms. I couldn't stand it, but there was always something else to do. Finally had it done right before we moved, and it looked so good -- wish I had done it sooner! You don't realize how much more you will like your home once it reflects who you are.
Good luck!
