The World's Slowest Bathroom Redecorating Job

I mentioned on a post-it note Tuesday (The Tuesday week before last) that I hated, and would never again apply wallpaper! When I originally hung it in 1992, it looked great. Now, not so much! (I took a picture of it, but now I can't find it. Only thing I can figure is it's on my son's SD card. If I find it, I'll post it later.)

The paper came off easy enough, leaving the backing. The backing takes a little getting wet and then it peels off... leaving the paste! UGH!! I then have to scrub, and scrub, and scrub some more, to get the paste off. It's making me crazy!

I'm sure it will be great once it's finished. I've already picked out a shower curtain and matched a gallon of paint to it. The walls are going to bed a rust red color! And hubby said we can get new flooring... not sure why? Well, it could be because the old floor has yellowed where the floor mats sat and is really yucky looking!

I think I want to tile the floor this time and be done with it. Of course I'd love a beautiful granite tile, but will probably end up with the slate-looking one I found at Lowe's for just $1.58 sq/ft. It will go well with the colors scheme I've come up with since it has an array of colors in it, including red. And, with that many colors surely if I get tired of the red walls I can find something else that will match.

So, anyone have any suggestions for getting paste off the walls? If not it may be June before I'm done... I'll keep you posted!
