I have these really ugly walls in my bathroom that I would like to cover. I cannot afford to replace them right now. They look and feel like Formica and have a plastic(?) strip covering where the panels join. I would like to either paint or wallpaper over them. Can this be done successfully? If so, how? Thanks.
