I feel for you. But look on the bright side, at least you're uncovering nice things. With each home improvement Josh and I make in our current house we discover exactly how lazy the previous owners were. In our bedroom, they put 4 layers of border up - one on top of the other, some with paint in between the layers. Aidan's room had 3 layers of border. Our bathroom is double wallpapered.

I just don't get why, if you're going to IMPROVE your home, why people take such horrible short-cuts? If I did that, I wouldn't feel good about it, I'd think I was a lazy bastard!!!

I can't wait to get out of here and have a big, blank slate to decorate as my own.
