We rented a new house and in the kitchen it has some funky looking wallpaper and you guessed it, the little lady wants to change the look.
Over all, the wallpaper is stuck to the wall nicely (secure, no bubbles) except for a few places around edges where it's coming off.
Someone that does remodeling, make ready, and is a general construction guy was telling me there is a way to peal off the places that isn't sticking... then spray some sort of "texture" over the entire area... and once that dried you can paint it and it comes out looking like normal drywall that has been spray painted
Of course this sounds much much better than trying to remove all the wallpaper as that is very time consuming and expensive and no the landlord is not paying for any of it (remember, this is being done just so the little lady can be happy with her kitchen which she likes except for the look of the wallpaper)
So, does anyone have any wisdom / experience they can share on an effective way of doing what this guy was telling me about?
