Hey everyone! I'm about to move into an older house that holds lots of memories. The house used to belong to a friend's grandfather, and I noticed a sweet note she wrote on the wall for him during our last visit. I want to remove the section of paint covering that note without ruining it. Does anyone have tips on how to go about this and how to store the dry paint effectively so it doesn't fall apart? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks a bunch!

To protect the note while removing the paint, it helps to know what kind of wall you're working with. If it's drywall, you might try scoring a frame around the area and gently scraping away the paint. Just be careful, as the paint could crack if not handled delicately. Also, consider sealing it with a varnish to help preserve the paper!
That sounds like a solid plan! Scoring around it and then peeling the paint might work better than I expected. I'll have to find a good varnish to handle any fragile bits. Thanks for the tip!
