Fixing the Entryway

So our cable went out last weekend, and comcast told us they'd come anytime in the next 5 hours- effectively trapping us at home. Being stuck, I decided to tackle the entryway, which had been one of our ugliest spots.

The small entryway has neat, original tile on the floor, but the walls were covered with thick, faux-wood wallpaper.  


I just scraped and pulled at the paper, pulling off the outer coat. 





Then, with some warm, soapy water, I wet down the remaining paper and scraped it off. 




Once all the paper was off, i just needed to patch a few holes. 



Then I just added a quick coat of paint, and ...




Ta DAA!



Total time, 1 week.
Active time, 4 hours.
Total cost = $0.
