And I know that those ...I am proud of you to Jodi. And I know that those few words will never again have as much meaning for you as they did at that moment coming from your son. Congrats, you just taught him a valuable life lesson both in character and in how-to. My hubby knows very little of home repair because his mother never let him do anything like that with her. She was a di-it-yourself sort in a bad way. You are doing it in a good way. Get info, get supplies, tackle the job and take the help when offered. Kudos to you. Big hugs and do show us a few pics of before and after please. Oh and I loved the paintings spread through out this post. Wonderful....<br />TessTeresa aka Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04518741453497496022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34644906.post-44401062930066256792010-05-16T14:18:28.927-04:002010-05-16T14:18:28.927-04:00How sweet.

And we did have to have the walls repaired (they're plaster) but now the fun part comes! I've primed and now get to add color. YEA! (Our paint expert told us that often walls that might have residue of wallpaper paste should be primed with an oil primer, lest you have problems with the latex paint sticking. Just a thought.)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852928197032856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34644906.post-60727903782396746902010-05-16T10:55:24.105-04:002010-05-16T10:55:24.105-04:00What a wonderful thing you did.

What more could you ask for?! And I won't tell you that as a former faux finisher and a painter of a gazillion walls you can paint over wallpaper as long as you make sure it is firmly attached to the wall. But don't ever ask a clerk in a store about it because they'll tell you it can't be done. ;-)Shabby Cottage Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340817220171599578noreply@blogger.com
