New wallpaper or painting question-how to?


Recommended Posts

When you want to have different wallpaper or maybe paint instead of wallpaper, do you have to take off the old stuff or can you go over it? Is it like in a house that if it's stuck tight just clean it and prime it then re-paper or paint?

Not a big fan of the 80's blue and mauve flowers, unfortunately.

peel the loose stuff off.

I used KILZ on any stains.

I used Zinsser 1-2-3 to prime everything, including the ceiling (Others have used KILZ as primer)

Used a thick roller and put the paint on thick. The dried paint will have enough texture to cover the transitions of the peeled off paper.

Take a look at this thread:

Nice job, it looks beautiful! Doesn't look like enough wall space to use a roller on, though, lol. Thanks for the info, now if we ever find out next Toy.....

Check the big box stores they have itty bitty rollers that work very well for that project and the finish is far better then a brush.
