As in pull one corner and the entire sheet came off in one piece.
The wallpaper guy who hung the new wallpaper in our family room and powder room assured me that vinyl wallpaper was easy to remove, but I didn't think it would be this easy! Don't be too jealous. Chris and I have paid our dues with stubborn wallpaper removal. I feel we deserved a little break.
Now, let's just keep our fingers crossed that Sandy doesn't end up being as big of a deal as The Weather Channel is saying. Stay safe, East Coasters!

Wow, I am happy that it went that easy for you. You deserve it. Hunker down, and be safe.
OMG I hate HATE wallpaper. (well the removing part) So glad it was easy for you. It's a blowing out there stay safe up yonder.
Wow that's awesome luck! Hopefully it sticks around for a few more days at least, huh? :)
Ha! How fantastic that the wallpaper practically fell down! Wishing you a safe experience with Sandy (from another East Coaster).
Wow, lucky you. I have had to peel little pieces at a time for a week in my tiny powder room years ago. Stay safe.
My favourite! When something you anticipate to be hard turns out to be easy.
This was a Gift!! So glad you got to move on to something more fun!! xo
Wow! So glad that it wasn't hard to take all that wallpaper down!
Stay safe!
You are so lucky!!
Be safe!
Good for you! I think we have all had the crazy torture of removing wallpaper.
I am looking forward to seeing the next project.
I love the new paint colors on the outside of your house. Beautiful!
Be safe, the weather her has been horrible for 3 days.
Wow- 20 minutes! That's amazing! You guys do deserve a little break and fun. :) Stay safe with the storm. :)
OMG that is AWESOME how easy it came off. Congrats for the nice little treat :) Now stay safe!
That's awesome!!! What a relief! You guys deserve some extra weekend relaxing:) Stay safe, so far here its just really windy and raining.
Awesome! You didn't have to remove any glue residue? Hope your good DIY karma continues. Stay safe too!
That is seriously *THE BEST*! Wallpaper can be such a pain in the a**...That would make my freakin' weekend! (c; Can't wait to see the new stuff!
You deserve an easier-than-expected project every once in a while! Hope you guys are weathering the storm ok.
Sweet deal! It's nice to have a project go the opposite way of expected...in the good way..once in awhile.
Stay safe!!
It was CRYING for you to replace it. Just proof that you made the right decision!
wow!! i have a feeling ours is not going to be that easy. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods...Newport is not fairing so well...
Holy crap, that is the easiest wallpaper removal ever. I wish our house had been that easy - but you certainly know now the best and worst of wallpaper removal. I can't wait to see what you've chosen for the hallway. Hoping you're all secure up there. We're good here just really high winds which are scary. The Jersey shore is a mess and so sad.
You were so lucky... Cant wait to see the new paper.
YAY! ONE project that turned out to be easier than anticipated…that's always appreciated by a DIYer! Can't wait to see the new wall treatment….it's going to be fabulosity!
What? Only 20 min???? Funny,how many times we predict the worse only to be joyfully surprised! How wonderful, extra time to relax :)
Haha! This one makes me laugh. I recently got a quote for one of my clients who had wallpaper removed and the room painted. It seemed like a lot of money, but I assured my client it would be horribly tedious to get the wallpaper off and that's why the price was so high. When I stopped by on the first day, dude was already painting! Yup. Vinyl. Thinking of you guys and hope you've fared ok through the storm.

As someone who spent DAYS stripping wallpaper on a single room, I'm crazy jealous you finished that quickly
