Back in the Scrape of Things

After a two-month hiatus, I'm back to scraping wallpaper this week. I've been working on our entryway, which has so far been underwhelming as a vision statement/aesthetic experience.

Here it was on Monday. Note the shiny, shiny texture (texture!) and beautiful light fixture (why that is still here, I do not know):



As of this morning, however, the shiny, shiny texture had gone missing. I'm left with a lot of clean up and a few plaster blemishes to patch.





Also a big mildew colony prospering by the front door. Eew.
