We live in a house where the former owner was a chronic do-it-yourself designer, and, ahem, she didn't have the best taste in the world. Some of the colors and patterns will give you a migraine.
We'd like to remove the garish southwest-pattern wallpaper from all of the wood valances in the house - about six of them. But I'd like to preserve the wood if possible, so I'm wondering if anyone has ever done a wallpaper-removal project that didn't involve scraping and scratching the heck out of what's underneath? I think this project is too small to warrant buying a steamer, and I'm wondering about whether a wallpaper scoring tool will ruin the wood?
Anyway, DIYers, any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
