i go to thrift stores, its amazing what a can of spray paint can do to anything.
think creativly, put random items together but untie them with color,
or buy a bunch of old funky frames and make a collage of them on your wall.
just be open, dont try to go for a certian look, you'll just drive yourself crazy!

What is the easiest way to remove a wallpaper border from a painted wall?

I am redoing my daughters bedroom, and I'm having a hard time getting the border off of the wall. I thought that it would peal off easily if I just wet it, but that's not working well at all. Does anyone have any tips that will make it come off easier and cleaner? I am repainting the walls, so I need it to come off well. Thanks.

Here's the best way in the world to remove wallpaper... In fact, a user here who is 55 years old and removes wallpaper for a living wrote me to tell me he tried my trick and couldn't believe how easy it was to remove the wallpaper. He thanked me profusely. So, here's how to make life easier:
1. Get yourself a scoring tool at your local paint or home hardware store in the wallpaper department. It looks like a rotary pizza cutter with spikes.
2. Run the scoring tool all over the border or wallpaper, every which way.
3. Using a spray bottle (an old windex bottle works great), fill it with blue (it has to be blue) car windshield washer fluid.
4. Spray this all over the border and wait 10 minutes. Don't skip the waiting time, it's important!
5. Spray it again and wait 5 minutes.
6. Easily scrape the paper away with a scraper (and I promise, you won't have to use major muscle... in fact, it will peel away in pretty big pieces.
7. Once all the paper is off, wipe down the wall still using the blue windshield washer liquid to remove the residual glue (there won't be much :)
And there you have it... the secret to removing wallpaper with ease! Oh.. and don't listen to those people who tell you to use fabric softener... It's a royal pain as it's really hard to get off the wall after. Don't believe me? Just go put some on your hands and rub it all over your hands. Then try to rinse it off. Although fabric softener will get your paper off, it will leave you frustrated getting it off and it will also make it harder to apply paint after so that it sticks properly. Save yourself time and trouble and please, try my trick. It really works!
Hope your daughter likes her new decor!
