My home was built in the late 80's and the previous owner thought they should cover the shiny wall paper with gobs of texture and paint.
My question is this- is there any "easier" way to get rid of some of the texture so I can actually wash it. As of right now, I have been sanding the crap out of it so I can repaint and get the orange peel texture up.
Thanks for any ideas:wall:
