Nancy,
Really pretty!
There are removal compounds available at Home Depot or Lowes that help to loosen the glue. There is also a scorer that puts pin pricks in the paper to help the solution get to the glue. It is not a fun job even if all goes well. good luck Marianne

I just use downy fabric softner diluted with warm water, put in a spray bottle, spray and peel off with a putty knife. Works great and doesn't have all the toxic chemicals, plus your house smells wonderful.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
Very pretty and delicate looking carriage and horses. It is wonderful they have lasted through the years for you to enjoy.
Good luck with removing the wallpaper. That is one of my least favorite things to do. Dif works really well too if steaming doesn't get it off. Have fun decorating!
so pretty! sure wish i still had some of the beauties i grew up with.... nancy hot water in a spray bottle or a pump bottle-like for gardening- a putty knife....and some great music on the radio!!!!!!!!
