*#&^%*$# fecking Wallpaper

[Lilith]

Never ever again! Anyone wanna tell me how to get this shit off the wall in more than a 3 cm shred at a time????

[BIBI]

Go and buy some wallpaper remover. You mix it up with water and soak the paper. The paper bubbles up from the wall and it is easy to scrape off in big pieces. The trick is having the patience to let it soak in.

[Lilith]

I've been scoring it and soaking it and now am using the absolutely most appropriate tool for the job....a spatula :p I tore 3 holes in the drywall being in a hurry :yikes:

[BIBI]

you mean you bought wallpaper remover and it's not working ??????

[BIBI]

Lil if its vinyl paper you have to pull off the vinyl layer first and then remove the backing left on the wall with the method I mentioned

[PantyFanatic]

Sounds like it's been painted over some of the layers. You can rent a special wallpaper steamer that dose a great job.















(slow down) ;)

[Lilith]

Right! TY BIBI, I know you are right...That is what I'm trying to do...I did not buy remover because the last time I found it really not any more effective than water, but this time I may have to go get it. It's soooo hot and with the ceiling fan on the liquid is evaporating and drying instead of soaking in good!

Oh and well patience is REALLY not my strong suit.:D

I don't know why I thought I'd actually get to paint today :p

[BIBI]

HAHAHA...Here I sit giving my sage advice and yet I am facing a wall that I should have tackled a year ago.......

Good luck Lil....I will never wallpaper again! lol

[Lilith]

Hold up sign : Will Domme for wallpaper removal services!

[PantyFanatic]

If it makes you feel better:) ………….. NO WAY you would have painted today anyway.

Most all of the time you have to a little spackling at best, to get a wall to look good with paint. Giving that time to dry and sanding before a sealer or primer, then waiting for that to cure before covering with paint would have made for a long day and a crummy job.

Just being dry to the touch isn’t enough. Anything that was wet should have at least overnight to cure before covering it with the next process.

[BIBI]

ahhh Lil...That crosses the street of "it hurts sooo good" to plain old frigging torture lol

WTF PF...........we aren't trying to boil an egg or anything her you know ? :)

[Lilith]

I don't use spackling...we were a millitary family...everyone knows you use toothpaste to fill the holes up in base housing :yikes:

[PantyFanatic]

:grin: :rofl: :grin:

Bibi- the elephant girl! She doesn't forget ANYTHING!! LMAO

[dicksbro]

You could, of course, remove the walls and put up new ones. :D










I'll go back to my corner. :)

[BIBI]

:grin: :rofl: :grin:

Well thank you ever so much PF. I am sure that calling me elephant girl has placed a wonderful visual in everyone's mind's eye about me! :nuts:

[BIGbad]

i've heard that liquid fabric softener is the best thing for the job, even better than the professional stuff. don't know if you dilute it or use it straight-up or what...saw it on hgtv so maybe they have a few tips on their website.

[BIGbad]

uh...oops! that^^^was from wyndhy. didn't realize BB was logged in....he's gonna be pissed cause now ya'll think he actually watches hgtv :grin:

[PantyFanatic]

:grin:
Not what I had in mind, but I like it. LOL




... and I like the image of BibBad keeping up with an Margret Stewart type show. LMAO

[Lilith]

It's almost down...we discovered that we had lazily painted over old half removed border so now we got to reap what we had sown. Meanwhile Mr. Lil was not keen on the color I sent him to go get so he chose something else :yikes: :nuts:

[maddy]

after destroying my walls trying to remove wallpaper i opted for hiring professionals to finish the job and fix my mess.

[Lilith]

It's down and I learned my lesson.

[Fangtasia]

*LOL*...poor Lil

So ya not going to rush out and by some new pretty wallpaper then?

*runs and hides cause i'm being cheeky*

[Lilith]

I cringe because I know I have 2 rooms that not only have border, but paper as well :o

[Fangtasia]

Oh crap.....feel for ya hun

[Lilith]

LOL but I don't hate those rooms enough to torture myself yet :D

[Fangtasia]

*LOL*....They may have Mr Lils name on em i reckon :D

[Lilith]

What color is this? No pressure but if someone says orange Mr. Lil dies :D

[Steph]

You could, of course, remove the walls and put up new ones. :D

ROFL

You are cracking me up so much this week, DB!!!

[cowgirltease]

Ummmmm Pumpkin? More spice than orange really.

[Lilith]

OMG he's dead....deader than dead :D

[wyndhy]

i say it's caramel

[PantyFanatic]

ORANGE






































(I want the check in the mail by noon tomorrow Aqua)

[Lilith]

i say it's caramel
wyndhy~ such a very good answer since I was shooting for a toffee :slurp:

PF~ right about now Mr.Lil would sell me to the lowest bidder :p perhaps the check should just go straight to him

[maddy]

color is always hard to tell from a photo, I was going to say a cross of adobe and terra cotta.

[Lilith]

thanks maddy! It's hard to tell on the wall too.

[Cheyanne]

That was what I was thinking too...especially since it looks wet yet, so it will dry a slightly lighter shade...I kinda like it.. :D I can see burgandy, yellows, and royal blues with that color too.. hmmmmmmmmmm - Cobalt?

[Lilith]

The curtains and pillows I made are deep shades of navy, burgundy, and green with some of the toffee/goldish color running through them.

I was aiming for a more manly distinguished look. Mr. Lil has had to live in flowers and froo froo of my choosing for many years now. So I suppose letting him have picked the color shouldn't bug me.....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh but I'm a control freak :D

[PantyFanatic]

"It'll look different when it drys."






















:grin:

[Fangtasia]

Oooooo i like that colour

[Lilith]

I'm either warming up to it or I am just too damn tired to think about painting again :p

TY for listening to me bitch and helping me to sort it all out. I promise to subject you to pics when it's all done.

[wyndhy]

i'm looking forward to being subjugated....er...subjected

[WildIrish]

Don't bitch to me! Bitch to Mr. Lil for choosing the mosaic border. :D

[Lilith]

a work in progress...


I don't like it with the white trim and closet. But my whole entire house is white trim so I'm trying to figure out where to go.

[wyndhy]

nice job lil and mr lil!

<~~~~~wonders how she can tie anyone to a sleighbed :p :D

[wyndhy]

nevermind...i temporarily forgot about the dungeon

[Lilith]

rope system under the mattress :D

[wyndhy]

:rofl:

[BIBI]

just add a bit of white touches in the room.

Candles are always a great way to do that.
I can always send you a blow up pic of my lily white ass for over the bed ;)

[sodaklostsoul]

:grin:

[Lilith]

I was considering some touches of magnolia...a common southern theme and something super sexy Mr. Lil did once. But it depends on if I am able to secure a painting that would send me a completely other direction.

[PantyFanatic]

you have gold and silver bed pans in your bedroom Lil!!!




:grin:

[Lilith]

LOL...smart ass...they were sun and moon mirrors left over from the celestial theme my room was...I was moving them out of the room when I stopped to take the pics.
