I love the product... but hate taking it down when it hasn't been installed properly and living with some pattern that is ugly or outdated.

Hubby says I am not allowed to ever hang wallpaper. When we moved into our house he spent hours upon hours on a ladder with a sponge and a scraper removing an icky wallpaper border. He says I am NEVER EVER putting it up again!

Oh, this stuff is UBER ugly!!

So Saturday I started taking the paper off. It is coming off real well. I'll have to post some pics (left the camera at the house though). There are parts that look like there is only one layer of paper while other areas have multiple layers (and each layer underneath is just as ugly as the first). However we are finding more parts where the plaster is not in very good shape. I think once I get all the paper off I will have to re-evaluate whether or not to just hang 1/4 inch drywall over the plaster or if we can actually "patch" the spots.

Nicole, I am glad you guys decided what to do!

Oh, and I don't like wallpaper either. It is a pain in the buttinsky to put up and take down.

Erin, I feel exactly the way your husband does about wallpaper! I LOVE painting - you can be as creative as you want b/c if you don't like it, just repaint it!

Okay, I need some HELP!!!! Please give me some ideas - in our foyer under the stairs there is a large area with a short decorative curved wall that used to have some pretty rocks and plants in it. I had to remove all the rocks (torture) and plants because the cats thought it made a nice litter box. Anyway, now it is just a plywood floor. What can I put in there? I tried pine cones and fake plants for a quick fix, but it looks kind of silly.

What about a sculpture and something covering the plywood that complements the style of the scuplture? Maybe a scarf/ throw over the plywood? Or shells? Or a different type of rock that wouldn't attract your cats?

I wish the previous owner had continued the regular flooring into that area - then I could just have the little wall taken out. I do think a smooth rock would work (the old ones were the more "dusty" kind), but I don't want to spend a lot of money on whatever we do b/c eventually I'd like to put down wood floors throughout the downstairs anyway. The scarf or sheet idea might work - I hadn't thought of that. Maybe something pretty and sheer or satiny... good idea!

Since you really won't be using the fabric, something cheap would probably work. You don't need durability if it's just going to lay there- unless your cats think it's a good nest for them to nap in. You may need to get something that will hold up to washing and cat hair removal.

Knowing my cats, I will definitely get something washable! LOL Thanks again for the idea!
