Dear Sir/Madam,
The many disturbed minds in the world have not yet devised a form of torture that is painful or humiliating enough to satisfactorily punish you for creating such a fiendishly difficult-to-remove wall covering. Even when wallpaper removal is going “well” it is still going TERRIBLY BAD and is only marginally better than having two root canals. While giving birth. To triplets. And being run over by a truck.
Those who continue to put up wallpaper are the only beings worthy of more contempt than yourself as they are responsible for the suffering of home-renovators like myself around the world – those of us who wish to make a simple change of paint colour but must first remove miles upon miles of wallpaper!
And don’t tell me that wallpaper is coming back “in” because it’s not. Not into my house, anyway.
Screw you!
Love,
Shannon

Ahh…the “joy” of scrapping totally unmovable paper from the walls. I remember it well…Well, “well” could be a subjective term…considering I was around 9 years old and was “helping” the neighbors across the street to de-paper ONE room in THEIR house with their young daughters, I suppose I don’t fully understand the pain you’re going through. Plus, at the end, we were all rewarded for our hard work by a trip to Dairy Queen. Perhaps your sanity could be somewhat restored by the application of some ice-cream?

We actually put up wallpaper in our dining room, and guess what – 6 years later, I want to tear it down. But after removing the border from the powder room, I’m hesitant to start that project. My husband has permission to shoot me if I ever say ‘how about wallpaper’ ever again.
Hope the reno’s are progressing and you have floors soon!

If my house ever gets reposessed by the mortgage company, I won’t get angry and trash it. Instead, I am going to wallpaper every room, ceiling and all.
