I’VE BEEN STRIPPING AGAIN

I just can’t help myself. I still had a few  FREE DOORS "STUPID" left over so of course I had to do something with them.
So I took them apart and cut them into strips and put them up in my old sewing/craft room…

I was really sad to these old walls go…

My Dad and I did them together about 13 years ago. We took brown paper bags and cut them up and got them wet and wrinkled and then put them on the wall with wallpaper paste. Then we sponged different colors all over. It used to look really good but after years of hanging things on the wall and little fingers finding loose corners and ripping it off, it was time for a change…

So my new walls look much better. I had one of my “Halves" help me paint them…

It’s pretty nasty so I won’t post a picture here but if you like the sight of blood and raw flesh, go HERE.  
OUCH!
