Starting our next room makeover! House project 1970s Home Renovation

I know this is random but i love the memories that kid is creating of laying on that carpet and sitting on it it's gonna be a core memory for him haha ❤️

I have a 120 year old home. Have removed massive amounts of wallpaper. Steamer, pro grade adhesive remover, and a scraper. Trust me it’s the only way.

Wants to do this down the road expand make it bigger slowly…

Ugly ahh fan

Thats not crown. If it is, they installed it badly. Hard to tell on a phone but it looks flat.

Wallpaper is SO hard to remove. I tried it once and I quit after an hr got me nowhere.

Wow

No no no horrible decision 😮

Use a steamer! Took mine right off

the room was better before

Omg I thought it said 1700s house😂

my way to do lukewarm water and vinegar works magic let is soak on it wait like 15 to 30 min truely depending a bit on the glue that was used, and the paper comes off without effort

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17:30)
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)

Thats not how you paint next time ask for help

The wood lining and ceiling fan are gorgeous 🙌

Get back on your meds and chill out

Fabric softner mix with boiling water. Let it cool but not to much to pour in a spray bottle. With a fork scratch the wallpaper n Spray the walls by soaking give it sometime n with a spatula scrape away

Water + vinegar

It just hurts to see someone trying to remove wallpaper’s with a head gun 🙈 use a spray bottle with water and Soap 🧼

Dear they make some great tools and products for paper removal . super easy and fast.

Risk of wallpaper

The old way of saying Adhd ❤

PLEASE tell me you tested it for asbestos, Wallpaper, Plaster walls, ceilings, Acoustic ceilings, tile mastic, foundation/cement, insulation can have asbestos.

Huh

Honestly id never renovate this, id just buy 70s furniture to fit the vibe and feel like I was living in a different time!

I love seeing you do this with your little boy underfoot!! You are awesome🎉!

This house looks so familiar but it's just the wood paneling and wall paper we had a room that looked just like this when I was a kid and around same size in the house we lived in while we lived in Canada for 10 years it had a gorgeous finished basement where the master bedroom was and a gigantic wet bar pool table family room and game room all in one down there. One thing I learned instead of removing the wall paper just remove all the dry wall and start over it's really easy to do once you learn how to do it and doesn't take but a few hours to do a whole room like this and will look way better

Personally I would just tear the walls out all together

You don't remove wallpaper with a heat gun, you need a sponge and water. You may also need to steam it if it's particularly stubborn. Adding texture on top will be even worse to remove in future.

Your crown molding might have been “gapy” on purpose. Look up Picture Molding Hanger. You might have not wanted to use it for such, but it’s most likely intentional.

Ooo girl don’t keep that wall paper there and paint over…. Your future self will thank you for it. I bought a house built in the 70’s and when I painted the kitchen a few days after it started peeling… come to find out there was wall paper under a couple layers of paint. Had to remove it all then repaint again!

Roll a paper tiger over it and then keep sponging it with steaming hot water and gently scrape it off. A paper tiger is a roller device that makes tons of little holes in the wall paper.

Be careful with old green wallpaper some of it's poisonous 😅

My house was the same way when we bought it, wallpaper over wallpaper. Maybe it was a thing back in the 70s-80s? Not removing old wallpaper before putting on a new one?

I was told fabric softener and water. Spray and pull.. worked for me.

Tapeten Lösungsmittel hilft.

Steamers work a treat for wall paper

That first wall paper reminds me of the apartment I grew up in. 😅

Score the wall paper and then steam off

This is pure Gemini energy

Oh, sweetie. You need to learn how to make a plan and stick to it. While at that, you don’t use a heat gun to remove wall paper, nor texture on top of wall paper. So, oh so many mistakes.

I had a 1900s house (lived in New England. Horsehair plaster, lead paint, several layers of wallpaper. I ended up putting drywall compound in a swirling pattern on the ceiling and walls. I then painted the ceiling white and walls a sage green. Painted the woodwork a nice coat of white. You gotta do what you've gotta do! Great thinking!! ✨💕

Texture was an 80s/90s thing. They look horrible!!

THIS IS HOW YOU TAKE OFF WALLPAPER FROM A PROFESSIONAL

YOU GET A PERFORATOR
YOU SPRAY THE WALL WITH WARM WATER AND FABRIC SOFTENER
THEN RUN THE PERFORATOR OVER THE PAPER

It comes right off.
This isn’t necessarily for the girl in the video, it’s for everyone else putting me through serious pain on these DIY channels lololol

And for the texture you use a wet plaster with a brush or stippling

Rent a steamer, put fabric softener in the water, and use a big joint compound knife to scrape it. I did a room about this size in a short day w this method. U can also use a stiff wire brush after steaming to get it started..
