I've moved into a house that was built about 20 years ago. A couple of the rooms have been papered with some unsightly wallpaper. The previous owner used one kind of paper for the top half of the walls and another for the bottom half, with a strip of border paper running horizontally, over the join. I wonder if this will stick out like a sore thumb if I just paint over it all. To make things wors, the top half is papered with textured paper in one of the rooms. There is a lot of wallpaper there to try and remove - and I'm not a glutton for work. What are the disadvantages (if any) in just painting over it all?
Thanks,
Al
