Your Goodwill must ROCK! I'm so useless to you on the silver, but I have used Kathy's method for peeling wallpaper. Works like a charm! Although maybe I'm nuts but I kind of like that wallpaper...maybe that picture doesn't do its tackiness total justice in your eyes? I just kind of dig it...in that shabby chic kinda way...Allysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536029582533052135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883070918058525039.post-40025725107676378142010-01-18T17:23:55.321-08:002010-01-18T17:23:55.321-08:00I got two silver trays at Goodwill this weekend, L...I got two silver trays at Goodwill this weekend, Lisa! I was so happy! At least one is going to get some chalkboard paint. I'm also going to try the pincushion project with these small sized teacups and saucers I also got at Goodwill. {I'll be showing off those finds later this week}.<br /><br />For your wallpaper, I've got a really easy solution for you to get it off. Fabric softener. Fabric softener {from the dollar store is fine} in a paint roller tray. Roll it on with a paint roller. If you want more detailed instructions, email me and I'll be glad to give them to you. I used this for my powder room and it worked like a charm!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883070918058525039.post-76696592153503538482010-01-18T17:21:14.519-08:002010-01-18T17:21:14.519-08:00Gorgeous silver finds!!
