And whatever glue they used back then is permanent, since it took almost 2 weeks to get the flocked gold stuff off the dining room walls!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11232148.post-1169045682864434652007-01-17T09:54:00.000-05:002007-01-17T09:54:00.000-05:00Two words - Safety Goggles (or swim goggle would w...Two words - Safety Goggles (or swim goggle would work)! Protect those eyes baby! How would you like to peel off wallpaper - from the CEILING!?!?!? Yep, all the walls (including the ceiling) in our living room and dining room (and 2 of 3 bedrooms) had wallpaper that had been painted over. Wallpaper applied to plaster walls - not a pretty site once removed. Now I know why previous owners just painted over it!!Ashley Chinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032312167246016939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11232148.post-1169037571379216202007-01-17T07:39:00.000-05:002007-01-17T07:39:00.000-05:00Ugh - I feel your pain - be thankful they didn't w...Ugh - I feel your pain - be thankful they didn't wallpaper the whole wall.

The first layer was applied by a black tar-like substance and I think they were asbestos!Fe-ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986479866903093934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11232148.post-1168983410291315032007-01-16T16:36:00.000-05:002007-01-16T16:36:00.000-05:00Oooh, well, thanks!!

Did you kjnow that you could use fabric softener and water mixed in a spray bottle and achieve even better results than the nasty toxic expensive stuff they sell? Let's hope you never have a need for that tidbit of advice again.
