We are finally getting rid of our old back boiler and decorating our livingroom, starting with stripping the thick, textured wallpaper from the walls and removing the semi-boxed in cabinets from the alcoves.
We discovered that the coving in the room is plaster and not polystyrene like we originally thought (another room had polystyrene coving so we assumed this was the same)
Now we have removed the boxed in section of the top part of the alcove the wall behind it has no coving as it goes straight across (sorry I know this makes no sense, hopefully the picture makes it clearer) so we need to remove the coving. Any tips for how to remove this whilst causing minimal damage? We are planning to get the walls and ceiling replastered but we obviously don't want to cause too much carnage!
Me and DP are new to DIY so any tips and useful tools that would help us would be very much appreciated!
