Painting Over Paper
It is always a temptation to take short cuts. You may choose to paint over wallpaper either because you don't want to take the time to remove it, or perhaps the paper hides cracks and defects in the walls of your older home. Most professionals will suggest that you remove the paper because it may peel or the wall covering texture will be difficult to paint over.
