I tried to resist, but those awful flowers are keeping me from fully enjoying The Wall: Chapter One. I got two strips off, then had to start cleaning off my desk in preparation for moving it…assuming I can move it by myself. We’ll see. Anyway, I got a little bit of it stripped, and the wall washed. It’s going to need a skim coat, though. I actually thought this was painted (mint green–blech) paneling, but it’s just the second-worst drywall job ever. The first being in my bathroom. Whatever it is, it’s getting a skim coat, and then being painted Victorian Garden (I think). I’ll go with flat because it’s not humid in my office, and flat will hide the half-assed drywall finishing job I’m about to do. Better my half-assed job than their, “Fuck it–slap on the wallpaper” job, though!

I’m still waffling a bit, but I’m leaning toward Victorian Garden; I think it’s the better choice for the carpet, and less bold. I have enough “bold” in my bathroom. 😀 God, that “not pink, not lavender, not dove grey, but all three” colour is a bitch to work with, though!

P.S. I found these fibers stuck under the wallpaper near the floor. Remnants of…rust shag carpet. That explains the shite paint job on the baseboard; they were trying to work around this stuff. I’m imagining this, paired with the green/brown wallpaper that was under the pink stuff. Even for the 70s, that’s uuuuuuugly!

P.P.S. I want a ladder shelf for the corner by the 55g, but I guess I’ll have to build one myself because the cheapest I can find is $50, and that’s Walmart-grade laminate. A good one will be at least $150, and then I’d still have to strip and paint it because I want it to be Creekside Green.
