I'm in the middle of mine. I decided to scrape the peeling bedroom walls of my rental apartment before repainting them. After removing a huge section of old paint, I discovered places where the drywall is crumbling to powder. Now I'm going to have to patch the bare section and just try to fill the cracks as best I can before painting. I'm sure I'll end up shoving a bookcase in front of the wall I tried to scrape.

Adore. Your place inspires me to do what I want with mine, and not worry about those who aren't into it.

So beautiful. It's obvious how much thought and care went into this home.

The previous comment is in response to the question about adhesive hangers. I haven't had good results with the 3M Command strips, unfortunately.

Yes, they pull the paint off the wall when you remove them -- and they have a tendency, after a few years, to suddenly fall in the middle of the night, taking your picture with them. Don't bother, unless you enjoy terrifying your pets.
