Erm... i made a mess!
Yay... my favourite bit! The wallpaper is all off and blank canvas awaits. Not that I have free choice of what to paint on this blank canvas but it is at least a lot less messy. As you can see I have chosen the "throw-all-your-crap-on-the-floor" technique of wallpaper stripping which was a happy coincidence with the fact that I was not in a very tidy mood today... Luckily the carpet is on its way out too, so ...
Roll it all up in a big sausage and chuck it all away....
Leaving pristine room behind... PRESTO! I highly recommend this technique after all major parties and/or after changing motorbike oil events.
Interesting finds are always behind the wallpaper... time capsules of a distant era. I love finding Dads wallpaper hanging marks, which are still perfectly usable, and I also found these little art attacks... is this a little drawing of a man? You might have to squint a bit...
But this is definitely the markings left by little children... anyone owning up? I have no idea if it was me but I cant remember last week let alone 20 years ago...
Sanding of walls and woodwork is tomorrows agenda, which does not make for interesting photos, but I will do my best. Wallpaper up on Monday hopefully and I will have to make the IKEA run very soon... they better have everything I need!!!!!

That carpet was an antique. Looks like another good decorating job underway.
not sure that graffiti can be mine, i really don't think that my hand writing has ever been as good as that...i blame Sarah.
Yes the 'Museum of Threadbare Crappy Carpets with Foam Dust Backing' were VERY interested in this antique item, but I had already thrown it on the tip... shame... You have to admit that you certainly got your moneys worth out of that carpet!
I also suspect Sarah for graffiti, but who can blame her when you more than likely get permission to draw on the walls... go crazy!
