Painting over wallpaper

07/07/2005 10:21 PM cobamexico

THe joys of wallpaper. We have a home that has OLD wallpaper in a bathroom. The walls were NOT prepped for wallpaper and we have peeled other rooms with this same problem. A HUGE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!! This wallpaper is NOT coming off easy. I have used Diff, vinegar and water, you name it, in the past,

Can we paint with a water based paint over this wallpaper??? A base paint and then the color that we want??? Thoughts???

OR, do we rent a steamer and that will save us BIG headaches????
