It all started with our main floor bathroom. Remember this post, where I showed you the bathroom in it's ugly yellow tile and pink flowered wallpaper state? And then shared our plans to first take down the wallpaper, paint and get new bath mats and accessories, to work with the yellow tile for now, until we're ready for a complete redo in a few years?
Well, we started on phase 1 of this bathroom update this past weekend, by taking down the wallpaper, after cutting power to the room and removing the light fixture, wall plates, towel racks and mirror.
The wallpaper removal went relatively smoothly, actually. You can see in this photo below how the wallpaper seams were already loose, which made things a lot easier. The thing you can't see though is the little bit of mold we saw under one of the seams after pulling it back a quarter of an inch a couple of weeks ago, which meant we wore masks and gloves while pulling down the wallpaper, since we'd be disturbing the mold.
