Our house speaks...

In my previous post about what to do with the hallway and our ultimate decision to paint the paneling has been nixed. We recently found a pile of plaster dust on the floor upstairs. The plaster has crumbled so much that it has completely bowed out some of the paneling in the hallway. I knew we should have not discussed painting the paneling. This old house got wind of it and was offended. I guess she doesn't want a face lift, just a complete overhaul. She is getting a little self centered, ya know.

The house has spoken. The paneling AND plaster must come down. All my googling for Nu-Wall, embossed wallpaper, and painting paneling was all for naught. Looks like we are getting a brand spankin new hallway. I am so happy. Can't you tell?

Moral of this story, listen when your house speaks. Or it will start spewing things from the walls.
