In other words, it was time. lol
Anyway, I stripped the wallpaper and got this almond paste paint. The ceiling is white, walls are done in the almond paste. Then, I got ambitious and used a stencil to paint ivy leaves around the top of the wall. I already had burgundy and hunter towels, so I got a hunter bath mat to replace the orange one.

deltaphi, how did you get all of the wallpaper off to paint the walls? is the almond paste paint something thick that will cover up areas where the paper won't come all the way off?
i have several rooms that i want to paint but they have years of old wallpaper stuck very tightly to the walls. any suggestions for getting it off or for prepping the walls for paint??
