Part 1: Taking down the Wallpaper
We ripped off the flowery, 1970s wallpaper from the guest bathroom by hand, and it wasn't difficult at all. I anticipated that we'd need to use a clothing steamer to loosen the wallpaper, but there were a few places where the corners were coming off the wall, and once we had a few pieces loose, it was easy to take off the rest. Where we needed to loosen a few more pieces, we used our nails or a flat-head screwdriver.
Next steps: sanding, sanding, more sanding. Then we'll put some plaster on the wall to cover some small problem areas, let it dry, and then paint! We'll post more pictures as we go.
