Room Redo

I just realized I never posted pictures of the finished product.
We Started with this about 10+ layers of wallpaper on the ceiling tooPatch jobs covering not sure what. We had a lot smoothing and re patching ourselves

All the paper is off, I ended up scraping with just a razor blade over most of the room. The old paper was very thin and just became a mucky mess when wet.

The pretty much finished product. Not quite the look I wanted when we started but with time and money concerns I am very pleased with where we stopped.

I have since painted the doors white and put up large slat white wood blinds with Choc. brown curtains. Now I just NEED some new bedding.

I love our old house, it has so much character, but you never know what your going to find when you start a project like this. On the chimney which shows in this room has a whole where a stove pipe once was. Well to patch it some previous owner just put wall paper over and so on and so on about 5 layers. I would not suggest this when I pulled the paper it was scorched on the under side. Defiantly an accident waiting to happen.
