awful walls after the old wallpaper came off
the peeling wallpaper was removed as best could by myself, twin and three men :)
its woeful.
its rough and wouldnt take paint as i had anticipated.
i wouldnt get a good finish.
i cannot do the plaster skim, and less able to afford.
would it be madness to paper all in a plain wallpaper, say cream or white. this may give a cleaner smoother finish.
they will be covered with my own oil paintings and stuff from a previous existence, but is this the best option i have?
all suggestions considered.
also the fireplace, if i paint over the very dark brown ugly fire mantle etc and it looks wojus i guess the next would be to take it away, so is it worth trying this, again whats the alternative to removing it if the painting makes it ten times worse!
