    The raw and textured wall is actually amazing! I think it is cool and a bit "industrial" while kind of showcasing the reality and imperfections of a home. Such a cool story and it seems to reflect your personality quite well I think! :) For the back wall behind the dining table, I would personally put up bookshelves or something like this to give this big wall some depth. But do what feels right! Your style is amazing and you never cease to amaze us anyway!

      Yes, I definitely need to find something to put on the green wall, right now it is looking a little empty, but hopefully I'll stumble upon something soon ☺💚

    With the wallpaper, they only thing I can think of is boiling it down, blending it up and making air clay. Or shredding it and making textured paper mache stuff.

    Love your artsy and eclectic taste infused with some minimalist and calm tones. It's a hard balance to find, you're doing a great job! Can't wait to see more room makeovers and seeing how you match decor. Makes me want to go on a secondhand shopping spree, so I need to remind myself I don't actually have a house to decorate! ;) #livevicariously

    I think when you're feeling indecisive or ambivalent, soliciting opinions of others and observing your reaction to it can help you sort through your own feelings and come to a decision, even if it isn't in line with others' suggestions

    My husband and I bought a fixer-upper house last year, and the amount of waste from cleaning it was heartbreaking. I knew deep down that the previous owners were to blame for so much going to the landfill (almost everything was soiled and couldn't be recycled/repurposed), but it made me feel like all of my low-waste efforts were useless in comparison. At least now we have space for a garden and our own compost heap....

    • @coralovesnature
      @coralovesnature 2 роки тому +1

      Aww you shouldn’t feel too bad, like you said, it was the previous owners’ fault for not properly caring for things. But at least now you can care for things so that the next owners don’t have the same problem!

    Depending on how the wallpaper was, you can paint over wall paper. I have done it before because I was not going to do all that work and had limited time to do so. Super jealous of your beautiful home!

    The wallpapaer comes off in complete banners If you soak the walls throrughly and then grab hold of the top egde and pull slowly downwards. We always cover the flor with old blankets and sheets, and that soaks Up all tue excess water. Even a light coloured carpet didn't geht stained, although we did use a Lot of warm water to Spray the walls 5 times or more. We take off the plastic covers of the electric sockets an cover the Soecket with masking tape. We've never had any problems there. Talk about satiisfying when a whole wallpapaer banner comes off in one piece!

    • @Gittemary
      @Gittemary  2 роки тому +1

      Some times it also did come off in these huge pieces, so satisfying, but it seems like the wallpaper was put up with different types of glue, so some of it was way more sticky than other😅

    Wallpaper often contains toxic substances to kill moulds and mildews. It cannot be recycled or used for anything else without special handling. Source: an old woman who lives in a 150 year old house with multiple layers of old wallpaper dating back to 1845.

    Can someone explain to me why someone might wallpaper a wall with plain paper, isn't it easier to paint it? I thought wallpaper was for those who wanted designs on their walls. Is there an advantage to wallpaper rather than paint? Just surprised to see plain wallpaper like that.

      White woodchip wallpaper is super normal in Denmark, basically all houses from the 60s-70s have this type of wallpaper, there might be practical applications of it, but visually, it was also just what people preferred for a long time.

      Not quite sure what you mean with that last bit, but sustainability does not have to be offgrid. Second hand furniture, learning home improvement skills, regrowing, gardening etc - all parts of sustainable living
