wow, those scan images are fab Nick. congratulations about expecting a son. I still can't get over how many people I know of who are having babies this year.

Tomorrow we start overhauling BGRR's bedroom. Walls need stripping of paper, carpet is to be ripped up, start with a blank canvas. I'm looking for some actual baby/nursery wallpaper but all places seem to stock is baby style borders. I really fancy papering the whole room in some kind of zoo/jungle theme, but can't find any paper that fits the bill. And because we've got to strip off some horrific blown vinyl wallpaper which we know is covering almost black walls, I dread to think what shape the walls underneath will be in when we start tomorrow :yikes:

Are you involved with stripping the wallpaper, Liz? Please don't do any stretching with the scraper along the wall, stretching in awkward ways can cuase troubles - I know, I was 5 months pregnant and decided to paint a low cottage ceiling, (as I'm tall, 5'8") it didn't seem too difficult, and I nearly lost my baby, had to stay in hospital for 5 days, flat on my back. Was told at the time that stretching is the worst you can do, and no I hadn't known, so please don't do it.

thanks for the offer Dom. I'll ring you tomorrow if I need it. Hubby still hasn't emptied the furniture out of the room yet :mad2:

thanks again for the offer of the wallpaper stripper Dom but thankfully, we didn't need it! :hurray: it was that annoying paper that has a vinyl overlaying a paper backing. managed to get all the vinyl off just by pulling at it, and then soaked the backing paper and the whole lot just came away from the wall within 15 minutes! easiest stripping I've ever done :lol:

I now know why it was paper though. Somebody had the foresight to paint half height of the wall with the darkest purple paint you've ever seen and then some other numpty decided to try and scrape it all off and took big chunks out of the plaster :mad2: hubby has had some fun filling and patching the big dips and we also tried Polycell's Smoothover stuff, which worked better than expected but not brilliantly.

So after 3 years of naf wallpaper, a brown cord carpet and not a lot else, Baby GRR now has smooth barley white dulux'd walls, a nice white ceiling, and a lovely carpet on order to be fitted later on this week. Oh and we have also started re-painting the family crib :yesnod:
