At the encouragement of a friend (thanks Mary S!), I bought a steamer and with it we have made lots of progress in a short amount of time.
Ever the bargain shopper - Scott has rubbed off on me after all these years - I did not purchase an actual wallpaper steamer ($50 at Home Depot) but instead bought a little canister clothing steamer for $25 at Big Lots.
The steamer is definitely the way to go and hopefully Scott and I will team up this weekend to kick out the high places.
Slowly but surely it is coming along. I am seeing a tiny, pin-point light at the end of the tunnel so let's hope our backs hang in there long enough to get the job done!
Last week
Today!
Despite some wonderful advice regarding faux and/or texture painting right over the wallpaper, we decided to go for the smooth walls and thus began taking the wallpaper down.
2 hours. This is what we accomplished in 2 hours.
Oh yeah, we are so having fun now.
Let me just start by saying that I absolutely love my master bathroom.
It is huge. It has really high ceilings.
It has his and her sinks - his is higher and mine is lower - perfect for the Mutt and Jefferina that we are.
It has a big tub and big shower.
It has a TV mounted to one wall - installed by Scott, of course! 
And most importantly, it has its own little water closet with door. Very important feature. Very. Ah, hem.
However, there is one glaring issue with my bathroom.
As you have undoubtedly noticed, it is covered with miles of black and green jungle-like leaf wallpaper.
Will calls it our rain forest.
Why, oh why, for the love of God, why all this wallpaper?
It is a pain.
It is a pain to put up.
It is a quadruple pain to take down.
Unfortunately, the previous owners of our home embraced wallpaper, especially in the master bathroom. Oh, how they embraced it!
Now, after seven years of bathing and dressing in the jungle, we are doing a little ecologically approved deforestation of our own!
Bring on the Dif and that little rolling, wallpaper scoring thingy. Bring on the dry wall knife thingy to scrape the wallpaper off.
It will likely take about a month for us to actually get all the wallpaper down, sand the wall behind it, apply and sand the skim coat (that we will have to do because of all this flippin' wallpaper) before we can even think about painting.
Regardless of all the work ahead of us, I am so happy that we are finally ready to score, spray, scrape and sand our way out of the jungle for good!
