The arduous road of DIY interior decorating... I moved in and entered the house, but... the smell of dog urine... 😭 Is this whole place a dog bathroom? Originally, I only planned to paint over the wallpaper... But I figured I'd have to tear off all the wallpaper to get rid of the dog urine smell, so my husband and I decided to wallpaper the living room. (Before wallpapering, I painted the entire molding white.) I started tearing off the wallpaper to wallpaper the living room... ... But there were five layers of existing wallpaper... 😭 This is a dilemma... As they say, "a good start is half the battle," here are photos of the wallpaper tearing process.
