If we had done it first, I think we would have been discouraged and would have been less likely to tackle the other rooms so enthusiastically. I feel like it’s really fortunate that we happened to do this room last. Here are a couple of pictures where you can see it on the wall:

We peeled the top layer, which is sort-of pearly and resistant to water, and then we could steam and peel the bottom layer, but again, it was so sticky! This paper had to be taken down in two parts because it was made with two layers. We don’t have a remnant roll of this paper, but we were able to salvage a panel when we were taking it off the wall. This wallpaper is the last one we pulled down and it was by far the hardest to get off the walls. It’s not particularly fancy but might be nice to use as a drawer liner or something like that. It was used above the tiles and on the ceiling in the bathroom. This wallpaper is the simplest of the designs we found in the house. Thankfully it went fast, which was encouraging. We were told this paper was probably from the 1940s. I’m not sure if it was hand-painted or machine painted but it was definitely not water-fast (which means it probably wasn’t very cleanable either). You could use your finger to easily smear it: The interesting thing about this paper is that when water touched the paper, the ink/paint started to run. This purple floral wallpaper was in a third floor bedroom (the bedroom that will eventually become Oscar’s room). Something lucky for us: As we’ve explored the house, we found remnant rolls of most of the wallpapers we pulled down. We officially finished de-wallpapering about a week ago, and I thought you might enjoy a little tour of the eight different wallpapers we’ve pulled down at the new house. (You can watch some of the time-lapse videos on my Demolition Highlight.) We would typically do a 1.5 to 2-hour shift (just long enough to go through one full tank of steam), and it’s rewarding to see two hours of progress condensed into a tidy 30 seconds. We made lots of time lapse videos while we worked, which have been wonderful to watch afterwards. It felt overwhelming to get started pulling it down, but once we got to work, using a steamer and scrapers, we found it was actually quite satisfying. There were eight different rooms, plus the entry, that were heavily wallpapered - including three rooms with wallpapered ceilings! “I can’t say what it is, but there was a lot of consideration of different things, and we picked the thing we were most excited for.”Īhead of that, Naughty Dog is also gearing up to show its The Last of Us multiplayer project, said to be due for a reveal this year.De-wallpapering at the new house has been a big task. “We’re already into our next project, so the decision has already been made,” Druckmann said. Druckmann didn’t share what the game is, despite saying he knows fans want The Last of Us: Part 3. Naughty Dog is at work on an unannounced game, which he also shared on the Kinda Funny Spoilercast. While Druckmann didn’t write the idea off entirely, it feels unlikely to happen. A prequel video game could have explored everything leading up to these moments. That’s when Marlene comes in, moments too late, and agrees to take the baby. She’s bitten shortly before she gives birth to Ellie, cutting the umbilical cord soon after - presumably the reason that Ellie’s immune. She hides out in a run-down house where she realizes she’s in active labor: a harrowing experience of bringing life into such violence. In the show, we see her pregnant and running through the woods, chased by an infected person. There’s a lot of material there to work with, given how little of Anna’s story is outlined. Druckmann said he talked to the unnamed studio for “quite a while” before the talks fell apart. Still, her scenes were only a small part of the show, leaving plenty of unanswered questions - questions that could have been answered in a prequel game that The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann said was briefly in the works.ĭruckmann told video game podcast Kinda Funny that he wanted to write Anna’s fuller backstory into a video game to be developed outside of Naughty Dog, but it just didn’t pan out. In its final episode, HBO’s The Last of Us went deeper into a character who was left unexplored in the original video game: Ellie’s mom, Anna.
