Is it possible? It's the run of the mill border for a baby's room- vinyl, I think. I would love to remove it without repainting, as the paint job is in good shape. Tips?

What can I do next?

If it was applied over new paint, it will probably come off easily and then you can wash off the thin layer of adhesive residue. Spray with warm water & gently peel. Good luck!

Most of the time, water by itself will not do the trick. If it doesn't, you'll want to try using liquid fabric softener. You can usually buy a large bottle at a dollar store for much cheaper than the name brands, and I've found that fabric softener works just as well as most wallpaper removers found in hardware stores.
I looked this up and I agree most Wallpaper/ border paste is made to be semi resistant to water otherwise it would fall off too easily
