   From Old School:

   Wallpaper is to houses what tattoos are to people. When you get it, you think that it looks great and cannot wait to show your friends. Twenty to thirty years later, you cannot look at it without going “ughhh” and shuddering to yourself.

   More like herpes. You can’t give someone else your tattoo, but you can give them your wallpaper.

   From crosscreek:

   We bought an over-papered house once upon a time, spent days stripping one room, then hired a painter who sealed, textured and painted over the wallpaper, took him less time to do the whole house than us stripping one room, 10 years later and no problems.

   From Cody:

   The big difference is wallpaper is much more easily removed. I bought a place that had wallpaper and my guys just sprayed texture over it, painted it, and it was fine.

    Old School should get “comment of the day”. Wallpaper Chomp spray on remover will take care of it.

    Eating breakfast in there with all that visual cacophony would prepare you for anything that could happen that day.

    Drew J, you are so correct on those chairs. Honestly, could they not see just how ugly..oh wait. They did pick out the wallpaper. Never mind, question answered.
