Hello, group,
We are buying a house that has wallpaper everywhere imaginable. In one room however, only one wall had wallpaper, and the other three had some kind of cheesecloth layer. This is a 1960's house. I've heard that before they'd put canvas/cheesecloth on walls to make them smoother for wallpaper. Do you think this is it? If it is, would I remove it like regular wallpaper or are there special techniques? Should I expect this cheesecloth layer behind the wallpaper everywhere else? I'd like to tear down the wallpaper and paint the walls. In the room that has this cheesecloth stuff, should I remove it, or would the primer/paint cover the cheesecloth texture?
Thank you, Elana
