My Wallpaper Remover

Yesterday was a fun, busy day. I reorganized the furniture in Melody's room, ran a ton of errands (including an important stop for a Slurpee), went to the bank to open an account for Melody, cleaned the house . . . just a lot done. The highlight to my day was taking down the pooh bear wallpaper wallies in Melody's room. They were super cute and have been up since Cadence was a newborn, but it was time for a change. I went online to ehow.com to see what they recommended for taking down wallpaper. Fun website. They have super easy directions to any question you may have--some have video to show you exactly how to do it. Well, their version of how to take wallpaper down was, for me, too much. Don't get me wrong, the directions were easy enough, I just didn't have all the supplies, I wanted something easier that I had around my house. With each article they also include a comment section for anyone to leave a note. It was GREAT! The comment section had 3 alternate ways to take down wallpaper that is sooo much easier! One suggested using that bathroom cleaner that is kinda foamy so it will stick more to the wall and not run so much. But I tried another option. I got a spray bottle, but a little liquid dishwasher detergent in it to just cover the bottom, and then added really hot water. The pooh bear wallpaper I used were not that big, so they were off in like 10 minutes. All I had to do is spray it on (towel to catch the runny water), use a putty knife to help with the excess glue, and start pulling it off. It was great, I just kept spraying when the wallpaper got a little dry where I was pulling, but in the end they came off! I know I'm a little crazy about being excited about taking wallpaper off, but I have a good reason. I have had these wall stickers for months and now I can put them up to decorate Melody's room! I LOVE WALL STICKERS! So easy to put up and to take off (or move around). I picked up the Disney Fairies Glitter Wall Stickers, which are based off the movie TinkerBell that is coming out in the Fall. They are adorable, and the wings really glitter! I found some pictures of them to show you what the look like. I have not yet taken any pictures of what Melody's room looks like (just finished putting the stickers up 10 minutes ago), but I will post some later on. Girls rooms are so much fun to decorate. =o)

Today is an important day, and maybe I should have mentioned it first. hehehe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYLEE!!
