The wall paper is in very good condition, but it is old, and we removed it from our bedroom, and it was a horrible job. We would like like to know if it is ok to paint over it with a good oil based paint?

Could I PLEASE borrow someone to go into my attic and bring down my Christmas decorations? My husband has found every excuse under the sun not to do it and I am unable to go up the stairs myself. I have 15 large totes of decorations that I usually start putting up the day after Thanksgiving, and complete this weekend, by the time I finish decorating Christmas will be over.

We just moved into a house where they liked pink!! The frames for the doors, the ceiling beams, the baseboards, the shutters (inside) and the doors themselves are pink. How do I remove this to make them the natural wood color again?
Mind you I have NO home improvement knowledge what-so-ever. But, I am a quick learner and have plenty of time to do this.
Thanks so much in advance.....
