We ended up taking on a project today on a whim. I was joking with Hubs that he should attempt to pull down some of the Packer themed border in one of our guest bedrooms. I wasn't expecting him to actually do it - I've kind of been nagging him about updating that room since we bought the house, but we've never actually done anything (it's the room he grew up in and he's such a sentimental sap) - he really surprised me when he was on board for changing it up. I spent a good part of the evening scraping wallpaper (Hubs watched Breaking Bad and the Red Wings game and brought me ice cream - lazy bum), but I already think it's a huge improvement.
Here's the before:
And this is after:
My FIL is going to come over tomorrow to patch up the crack in the ceiling, and next weekend I'm going to be painting. So exciting!
Re: Guest Room Facelift
What!? You didn't want that Packer border!? Every Packer fan has to have a Packer room!
Haha, my grandparents have a room that looks like the Packer Pro Shop. It's got floor to ceiling Packer wallpaper, a Packer bedspread, shelving full of Packer trinkets, autographed Packer photos, and just about anything else Packer-related you can think of. I mean, I'm obsessed with the Packers, but their room is like sensory overload for me. You can have a sports room and do it somewhat tastefully, I think.
Looks good so far! Tearing down wallpaper is such a pain. What color are you going to paint it?
The Packer border had seen better days - after being up for 20 years, it was falling down in a lot of places and was looking kinda ghetto. Luckily the wallpaper was only on 2 walls, it was just the border on all 4, and it came down pretty easily.
I think I'm going to paint it light gray - clean, modern, neutral, and easy to accessorize with punches of color.
As a green bay fan, all I can say is....for shame. For shame.
I will sit in my corner and weep silently.
