The walls in this place are pretty impossible. Not only are they uneven and painting in a very heavy pattern, the previous owner also neglected to take off any of the wallpaper above head height, leaving us to stand on our one piece of furniture with a scraper to try to get it all off. This is probably the least fun thing ever. Because it is pretty stuck on. I can see why he couldn't be arsed. But we have to get it off.
Check out the faux-stucco event wall he has painted over. Top tip from previous owner... if you have a crack in your plaster, don't fill it, paint it and make it a feature!
Painting the wall. We have now finished the undercoat completely. The bottom area took three coats, and you can still almost see the lines showing through. I think this guy watched Changing Rooms one too many times...
