I’m decorating my living room, and after stripping the wallpaper found that the plaster underneath had a really nice finish to it – although it’s about 10-20 years old. If I patch a couple of holes, it looks like I could paint straight onto it rather than putting up lining paper first and still get [...]

What is the best way to remove wallpaper from plaster walls?

By admin on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 | 10 Comments

Fortunately for me, the top layer of the wallpaper (the initial covering) removed completely with just a few pulls. However, the back of the paper with the glue remains.

Help with wallpaper/paint/paintable wallpaper!?

My house is really old, and the previous owners were a little dumb when it came to decorating. My bedroom has hideous wallpaper on it, but there is even older stuff underneath it. Another issue is the fact that underneath all the wallpaper, we don’t think the drywall is in good condition. I have a [...]
