Restroom, Workroom
Today we put up walls creating a hallway through the bathroom. In the old floor plan in order to get to the upstairs or to the master bedroom you had to walk through the bathroom. The room was strange anyway, over large, a real waste of floor space we needed. I was able to put a nice 36” wide hall through and the bath is still adequate. I mean we would like to have had it bigger but it was a pain to tell guests “go on about your business I’m just passing through”.
A great bonus of this was the truly craptacular wallpaper we uncovered. Looks like bricks until you get close and then you find out its really sail boats. Bricks, sailboats, heck they are destined to be together. If I hear anyone talking about historical preservation I’ll kick your ass.

I think I remember that bathroom. A shame it's not there anymore. I'll bet your new smaller bathroom is still bigger than our full bath!
That wallpaper is amazing! Probably a good thing to remove. At least you have pictures of it. We've got some great wallpaper, too, though I don't know if we've posted pics of it yet. I'll make sure to do that when we pull off that wall.
Great blog, BTW! I've enjoyed reading it so far. I have a sawzall (bought it after renting one twice and realizing I really should just buy one) and a larger version of your nail puller (it's a pry-bar and nail-puller combo). Very handy tools!
