RE:Should I get this desk?
Just thought of something. You could get a piece of plexiglass or real glass cut to size, and them apply vinyl removable wallpaper to the plexi panel until you get around to sanding it. Covers the yuck, its quick and it gives you options. And you don't have to worry about your laptop getting scratched by the nailheads on the tabletop. Maybe a pattern like this:

I spent about 4 1/2 hours smoothly removing the text off of a quirrel comic panel for a background, if you want it as a phone wallpaper here you go
For reference, it was a part of the official Quirrel comic released by Team Cherry. Can't remember what panel but I think it's one of the early ones. Hope you like it ! submitted by /u/c0y0te_furz to r/HollowKnight [link] [comments]

Historic 1908 Home Restoration: Wallpaper Removal, Plaster Repair, Skim Coat to Paint
This is my wallpaper to paint DIY job at the historic home I recently purchased. The house was built in 1908 by the Pharmacist of a small mid-western town, and is currently on the National and State Historic register. Property Description: The Roscius S. and Lydia R. Freeman House is an early 20th century two-story frame dwelling built at a time of transition between architectural styles. It is a blend of the Queen Anne and the Shingle Style with Colonial Revival features. Its basic form and ornamentation are found in the Free Classic variation of the Queen Anne Style that was introduced in the 1890s and continued in popularity until after 1900 in River Falls. Its classic ornamentation and fenestration are typical of Colonial Revival dwellings from the period. The house's heavy, sweeping rooflines tie it to the Shingle Style. The house has an irregular foot print with overall dimensions of approximately 41 by 56 feet. This room was the primary bedroom (during the winter, they added a sleeping porch a few years later as it gets hot up there) with three layers of wallpaper and ceiling-paper over lathe and plaster walls. The plaster was mixed with horse hair, and had no finish under the wallpaper. This room, and the entire house, have the original wood floors, wood windows, doors and trim. This was my first time doing plaster repair, or working with joint compound and is my “practice room” for the rest of the house. Yes, I will one day rewallpaper this room. I posted in r/plastering a couple weeks ago asking about which products to use, and didn’t receive much feedback. When I asked around at the hardware stores, they just said I can treat it exactly like drywall - which I didn’t really believe. It took a while to figure out the compounds I should use, and this room will be a test of those products. I’ll be looking for any peeling, cracking, discoloration issues. Initial Conditions Multiple layers of old wallpaper with some peeling and a water spots Ceiling paper had areas of sagging and was discolored Loose plaster Cracks and small holes One larger 1’ x 1’ area where plaster was gone but lath intact Original plaster had no finish other than wallpaper Plaster degraded around the windows causing drafts Safety & Dust Control: Given the age of the house, I considered lead, asbestos, and silica exposure. No paint layers were present on the plaster in this room, reducing lead exposure risk during sanding. Very low asbestos concern. The original 1908 construction predates widespread asbestos use in residential finishing materials. No mid-century sprayed textures, vinyl tiles, pipe insulation, or suspect materials were present in this room. Moderate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) concern from the shellac based primer High silica exposure concern from plaster dust during sanding, cleanup and removal of the wall paper. Precautions taken: N95 respirator whenever sanding or dust present HEPA filter on shop vac Vacuumed thoroughly between steps No active HVAC returns in the room Changed clothes after dusty work Latex gloves when handling wet wallpaper Good ventilation and P100/OV respirator while using Shellac Step-by-Step Process 1. Wallpaper Removal I used a multi-purpose steam cleaner and wallpaper remover to heat and dampen the wallpaper, then scraped it off with a 6” taping knife. I saw recommendations to score it first, but that seemed to make it harder for me. I tried the Zinnsser DIF Wallpaper Remover for the small bits and excess glue. It worked well, but not any better a mix of half vineger/half water. There were some small flakes left and areas of glue residue when I was done. I used a tarp under my while removing the wallpaper, I wish I had used put down plastic and taped at this point because I did get some staining on the trim. 2. Stabilizing Loose Plaster Used: Plaster washers off of Amazon 1 - 1/4” drywall screws USG Easy Sand 45 Process: Located the loose areas by pushing on the wall, then placed washers every 6 - 12” until it was secure, then covered with USG Easy Sand 45. 3. Large Hole Repair (Exposed Lath), about 1’ x 1’ Used: USG Easy Sand 45 Drywall repair metal mesh patch 4” and 12” drywall knife Process: Rekeyed lath with Easy Sand 45 and let it set, then built it up with another layer. I then embedded metal mesh patch, and feathered it out with Easy Sand 45 4. Cracks & Small Holes Used: Fiber mesh tape USG Easy Sand 45 Plaster washers and 1 1/4” drywall screws 4” and 12” drywall knife Vacuum with HEPA filter Process: Screwed in the washers near the cracks about every 6” - 12” on alternating sides, then vacuumed. For the cracks, then I Applied fiber mesh tape and embedded with Easy Sand 45. Small holes were filled directly with Easy Sand 45. Why Easy Sand 45? Setting-type compound (chemical cure, not air dry) Harder and stronger than premixed Minimal shrinkage Appropriate for structural patching I avoided premixed mud here because it shrinks and isn’t ideal for thicker repairs. 5. Sanding & Surface Prep Light sanding with 220 grit sand paper with the goal of flattening high spots. Then I vacuumed the entire surface, followed by wiping it clean with a damp microfiber cloth. 6. Sealing Before Skim Coat Used: Zinsser BIN (shellac-based primer). Process: Roller on the surfaces, no edges, with a light coat. I didn't have 100% coverage, but made sure to cover areas with glue residue and any paper bits. Why BIN? Seals residual wallpaper glue Prevents bubbling/fisheyes Aggressive adhesion Fast dry I specifically did not use PVA here because PVA does not block glue residue well. From this point forward, the surface behaves similarly to drywall in terms of skim coating and finishing I did consider vapor permeability when using shellac primer, but given that this is an interior above-grade wall in a conditioned space, I was comfortable using BIN to lock down residual glue before skim coating. 7. First Skim Coat (Leveling Coat) Used: USG All Purpose (Green Lid) 4”, 6” and 12” drywall knives Roller Water Hawk Process: Added a little bit of water, and mixed for about 1 minute. I applied it via roller method, in about 3’ x 5’ sections, cleaned the edges with a 4” knife and flattened with my 12” knife. Why All Purpose? Higher adhesive content Stronger binder Good for build coats More durable base layer This coat was ~1–2mm thick to unify the surface. I tried a 22” knife, but it was more difficult. The corners and angles in the small room were the worst, and I wasn’t really able to fill the holes around the trim or windows very well. I was initially concerned about bonding joint compound to old plaster without a dedicated plaster bonding agent (like PlasterWeld). So far adhesion appears excellent, with no bubbling or delamination after priming and painting. We'll see what happens when summer heat and humidity happen. 8. Sanding Between Coats Let it dry for at lest 24 hours, then light sanding with 220 grit sand paper with the goal of flattening high spots. Then I vacuumed the entire surface, followed by wiping it clean with a damp microfiber cloth. 9. Second Skim Coat (Finish Coat) Used: USG Plus 3 (Blue Top) Water Bright light 1”, 4”, 6” and 12” drywall knives Roller Hawk Process: Same as with the previous coat, only a little thinner. I held the light at an angle to the wall to see all the imperfections. I did have to put this on in smaller sections as it seemed to dry faster and I had less time to work with it. This was a tight, thin coat focused on, filling blade marks, correcting minor depressions and surface refinement Why Plus 3? Lighter weight Creamier consistency Sands easier Designed for finish coats 10. Final Sanding Let is dry for 24 hours, then light sanding with 220 grit sanding sponge (the mesh drywall stuff left lines). I just sanded ridges and high areas, can't fix bubbles or divots at this point. Then I vacuumed the entire surface, followed by wiping it clean with a damp microfiber cloth. 11. Final Primer Used: Zinsser 123 Primer Roller Brush Process: Full coverage coat on the walls and ceiling with a roller and brush for the edges. I used about 1/3 more than the 1st coat. I got a small roller as well, and this very much helped over the doors and in the little room. This coat did a great job of adding some texture and blending in all my bad spots from the skim coat. I felt a lot better about my progress after this! I should have done a light wiping with emory cloth after it dried to remove some spots that showed up when I painted Why Zinsser 123 Better body than PVA Good adhesion to joint compound Slight build for unifying surface Reduces flashing 12. Paint Used: Bavarian cream colored eggshell paint Process: Two coats on the wall using roller and brush for the edges. Once coat on the ceiling. The ceiling could use a second, but I’ll be adding a texture later so I didn’t bother. Lessons Learned I will be getting stilts, going up and down a ladder sucks I'm also going to rent a pole sander, that would have saved a ton of time I should have taped and put down plastic right away. I didn't until I started to prime Removing the tape after the skim coat was very difficult, I should have removed it and reapplied I’m pretty happy with the results, even though my skim coat and knife work needs a lot of practice! I would have been better if I would have removed the trim, but I’m just not ready for it. When I remove the trim, I’m going to restore it and also add outlets. I’ll fix the plaster then. Same for around the doors and windows. I am hoping I can find something to inject or spray in around the windows to seal and have a layer to build the plaster on. Next steps will be to fix my bad spots, then add texture to the ceiling. I’ll be refurbishing the hardwood floors after that! Most of the rest of the house will either remain wallpapered if it and the walls are in good condition, or I will remove and replace it. I won’t have to worry so much about perfecting the skim coat, except for on the ceilings. I hope this all sticks well, and I don’t see any cracking or discoloration. I’ll be sure to post an update in six months if I do for your reddit schadenfreude. submitted by /u/ricosinron to r/DIY [link] [comments]

Removable wallpaper that doesn’t peel paint?
I rent but want to do an accent wall behind my bed. I’ve seen peel-and-stick wallpaper and vinyl wallpaper options. Are there any favorites that won’t destroy the wall when I move out? Update: tried a few vinyl wallpaper samples from DesignShop before committing, super easy to apply and peeled off cleanly when I tested it on a spare wall. Highly recommend testing first. submitted by /u/NeutralTheory100 to r/Apartmentliving [link] [comments]

Removable wallpaper that doesn’t peel paint?
I rent but want to do an accent wall behind my bed. I’ve seen peel-and-stick wallpaper and vinyl wallpaper options. Are there any favorites that won’t destroy the wall when I move out? Update: tried a few vinyl wallpaper samples from DesignShop before committing, super easy to apply and peeled off cleanly when I tested it on a spare wall. Highly recommend testing first. submitted by /u/NeutralTheory100 to r/Apartmentliving [link] [comments]

Bing Wallpaper now opens a browser tab from clicking the desktop and removed the option to turn it off
Clicking on the desktop after a restart now opens a chrome browser tab with the bing search telling me about the bing background image and it's very annoying. There was apparently once an option to turn it off https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1lrgoco/this_feature_is_enabled_by_default_for_bing/ But it seems to have disappeared. submitted by /u/External-Orchid-7341 to r/assholedesign [link] [comments]

I removed this wallpaper and had this done to the walls... and now not sure if I like it?
So I had this design done on the walls. I was thinking of maybe finding a long thin painting, but not sure if that would throw off the visuals because of how short the door is! It looks fine walking it, but looking down the hallway towards the door throws me off. I feel like a taller and better door would help with the proportions, but my partner says the door is fine and does not need to be taller. Not sure what else to do. It feels very plain and bare but it was like that before with the wallpaper. Is the framing too much? Should I take the inner frames out? Any thoughts on what to do to make it less plain and better? submitted by /u/Dense_Shake_9211 to r/HomeDecorating [link] [comments]

HELP! I removed peel and stick wallpaper off my apartment wall and now it looks like this.
I still need to remove the rest of the wallpaper at the top, but please help me. I’m 26F and have no clue what I’m doing and can’t pay someone $500+ to get this fixed. There’s lots of leftover paint chips on the wall so I’m worried about repainting straight over it. Will sanding a bit and adding a primer work to smooth this out? 😭 EDIT: Y'all, I realized there was lots of confusion here. The wall was painted before and my roommate and I put up the wallpaper ourselves. The issue was that when we took the wallpaper off, it ripped off all the paint. Will share another update once we fix this! submitted by /u/this_is_a_good_sign to r/paint [link] [comments]

AITA for refusing to go into our renovation house and remove wallpaper while 23 weeks pregnant
My husband asked me to go into our renovation house which has no heating (the temperature has been in the minus the last couple of days so the house is freezing) and no electricity and remove wallpaper because I took a week off work and I’m “free” to do it. I am 23 weeks pregnant and starting to feel really heavy while doing normal daily things and taking care of our 18 month old toddler. I have gone to help twice previously with my husband as he has ADHD and struggles to focus on one task at a time and instead jumps from one to the next. I refused to help this time because I found it unreasonable to ask me to go by myself and sit there removing wallpaper in the freezing cold. When I refused his reaction was to call me “ungrateful” as he has done all the work himself and I should atleast do a little regardless of wether I am pregnant. submitted by /u/Cheap_Lettuce7160 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Why is nobody talking about Apple silently removing live wallpapers?
As far as I know, after iOS 16, you can no longer set a live wallpaper on your lockscreen and tapping on it to make it move. submitted by /u/Stidza to r/iphone [link] [comments]
