DIY Wannabe
As if I didn't have enough on my plate I took on making over the ugly half bath in my bedroom! I thought it would be easy I mean I watch all those HGTV shows and I have the internet so smooth sailing right? WRONG! To start let me tell you the top half of the walls were wallpapered but seeing how I've seen wallpaper removed on tv I still thought it would be easy. So off to the store to get wallpaper remover spray. Come home get straight to work. some wallpaper comes off along with the top layer of drywall!! So I thought I won't use the spray I will just rip it off yeah right! That left me with the fuzzy backing now I'm lost cause I can only get this mess off when I wet it but doing that again more drywall coming off! I read online that if you take off the top layer of drywall all you need to do is mud it, sand it and prime it and then you're good to go. It's just so much more added work. I will let you know how that turns out. Who knew such a small bathroom would be this big of a headache!
