A very reputable painter has told me that the wallpaper surface in my living room would hold up if I painted right over it. We just moved into the house and I can tell that none of the walls were primed before the paper was applied. Whoever papered did a great job and the seams are not even noticeable. Can you paint over wallpaper like this? If so, what is the procedure?
