miracle on quackenbos street

As some of you may know, every closet in our house is wallpapered with strange brown stained wallpaper, circa 1940s. It's gross. It depresses me. But, since it's in the closets it hasn't really been a priority. Especially because we've been scratching our heads, trying to figure out the best way to get rid of it.

We have a wallpaper steamer, which we bought to tackle the equally nasty wallpaper border in our living room (see here for those details). But, frankly, I've been afraid to try it because I've been afraid that it won't work. And if it didn't work... well, who knows what we'd do!

But last night, we decided to give it a go. We realized that there was absolutely, positively no way that we were hanging all those cute and clean baby clothes in that nasty closet. And, wouldn't you know it... it worked! One blast with the steamer, and the wallpaper literally melted off the wall. So, pretty soon, we'll have a cleaned out baby closet as well as a newly painted hall closet. Stay tuned for pictures.

Keep sweeping, Martha

PS - Welcome to the world Baby B! We are so excited you are finally here! Wishing k&d all the best as they embark on this exciting adventure!
