During closing the owners applauded themselves and their care with taking out all the wallpaper and painting the house nicely. Upon later inspection that day, after we signed the papers, we realized that their statement wasn’t all true. There was indeed wallpaper in the master bedroom. So, after chipping a little piece, Leo and I grabbed some spatuala’s and set to picking/scraping the wallpaper (that is covered with a million coats of glossy paint) off the walls. I actually love the way the plaster looks, we’re thinking about cleaning it all off and leaving it bare. In this shot you can see the outline of where there once was a mantel. I’d love to break down the closet built to the right, and re-install a mantel again.
Joey didn’t really seem to know why we were making such a mess. He spent most of the time hiding from us in the closet.
