Peel the paint

Every flake is a tiny victory.

Peeling things — dried glue, sunburn, old stickers, flaking paint — is a guilty pleasure almost everyone shares. This wall of cracked, dried paint exists purely to be stripped.

Drag across the surface and chips flake away under your finger, fluttering down to reveal the pale plaster beneath. Work the edges of a bare patch and watch it grow.

Strip the wall bare at your own pace — methodically in rows, or chaotically wherever the paint looks loosest. Then a freshly painted wall appears, ready to peel all over again.
