My friend Marc (of the demolished kitchen fame ) asked me one day if I knew of any “backwoods” methods of removing wallpaper from plaster walls as to prevent damage from being done. I didn’t – we just tore down the walls that had wallpaper on them (but regretfully so – the paper was gorgeous and vintage, but the plaster behind was as rotten as a jack o’lantern at Thanksgiving).

figured it was something worth researching.
