When we renovated our kitchen in our 1950's ranch house, I remember what "joy" it was to scrape through and peel off layer upon layer of tacky wallpaper. I had to remove four layers of wallpaper to be exact. I guess there was a layer of wallpaper put on for almost each decade of the life of the house. I have a good suggestion for the quick and easy removal of wallpaper, hire a professional! What a b*tch it was to do it ourselves, eek!

Just when you think the wallpaper nightmare is over, guess what? Wallpaper is back. But this wallpaper is really nice. A tasteful nod to the googie atomic era. You can find nifty fifties style wallpaper at Bradbury & Bradbury. They have some neato "Mid-Century Modern", "Tropical Tiki", or "Sputnik" designs for your retro style.
