Glad to hear you're enjoying the blog. It sounds like you had 'flocked' wallpaper - which had to have been a nightmare to remove. But I'm sure it looked fabulous when you finished. Thankfully, our new project doesn't have any wallpaper that needs removing. But of course there are lots of other things to do! <br /><br />I hope you can stop by our Open House when we get the place finished. It would be great to meet you in person!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18183168966431701470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-37258669298852847912012-07-12T12:46:01.798-04:002012-07-12T12:46:01.798-04:00I really enjoy your blog, which I happened upon by...I really enjoy your blog, which I happened upon by accident. I am a fairly recent transplant to Maine, but our previous house in Virginia was a total fixer-upper and reading your posts reminds me of that time. We were so exhausted at night we usually ended up at a 24-hr diner for dinner at midnight several times a week. This post reminded me of all the green brocade-like velvet wallpaper we struggled to get off - what a bear! But it looked so good after. Of course, when we finally had gotten the house to our liking, we moved to Maine. I miss that house and the way we custom-made it. We currently live in Cape Elizabeth, and our house is a curious mix of all types of styles since the previous owner did a lot of "creative" work on his own (also a lot not up to code). However, with two small kids, our renovation spirit is in hibernation. So, it is great to read about your project instead and plan ahead :-) Also, a big bonus to read about somebody local!Karinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-62881922010126260892012-06-24T19:10:37.603-04:002012-06-24T19:10:37.603-04:00Thank so much!
