Day 10 of "the room" makeover

Nope.  Still not ready to call "that room" the nursery.  So far, it's been an utter debacle that has included gallons of spackle, primer, latex paint, and finally, oil-based paint.  To recap, we scraped off the wallpaper, 2 layers of it, over a week ago.  What was left was a green, the color of hospital scrubs, on the walls, which I assumed was paint.  Hubbs thought he would spackle where need be and then we could primer and paint.  He spackled and sanded, spackled and sanded.  Primer, then a gallon of paint.  OK, fine.

Then, we had 80+% humidity on Saturday and along with the water-based primer and paint, some fierce bubbling was going on.  Hubbs confirmed that the green "paint" was actually wallpaper.  Not that I would have thought any different at the time.  We realized too late (duh!) that we should have used oil-based over the wallpaper.  Wallpaper-removal rookie mistake.  Back to H.ome D.epot we went and the room received a gallon of oil-based primer.  The smell from the oil-based was, in a word, overpowering.  To resolve this, hubby just painted one coat of the latex paint tonight, which seemed to work well.   
 

Through the toxic fumes over the weekend, I got the bright idea that this is what we're going to do throughout the rest of the house, which is about 95% wallpaper.  I think I'm done with scraping.

No contact information for the emom yet.  Still waiting to talk with her.
