As I have previously mentioned our master bathroom is not my favorite place in our house. I have already removed all of the old caulk in and around the shower and tub and put fresh caulk down, which helped a bit.
Eventually we would like to demo this bathroom and start fresh, but since that is a ways off I needed to make some changes now. I started with removing the beautiful border. Here it is before…
Pretty nice huh?
Fortunately it is just on this one wall. Here is a close up so you can take in the lovely flowers…
So, I got out my tools I needed…
I decided to go with the same hot water/liquid fabric softener concoction that I used when removing the border in the guest room. It seemed to do the trick the first time, so stick with what works right?
This time I started to peel the border before spraying my fabric softener mix on it.
The border was already peeling up from the wall before I even touched it. I am assuming this is from all the moisture and steam from years of showering in here. I wasn’t complaining though, made my life a ton easier…
I just started pulling and was left with this…
Yup, the top layer all peeled down in one piece, wahoo!
From there I did my spray and peel thing until I had this…
This took a total of about 15 minutes. I was pumped, since the last room took me more than an hour. I think it looks much better…
What What! No more wallpaper borders in this house!
