Yes, but you won't be able to buy the right sort of paste from any hardware store as it cuts into their sales of wallpaper strippers.



Mix 4 parts wallpaper paste with one part fertiliser and apply as normal. It may smell slightly strange for a day or two, but after that everything will return to normal.

The wallpaper situation is that the downstairs bathroom has a SUNFLOWER border. I asked the landlord if she would take it down - and her response was..."well you can if you want". Sunflowers, people.

The house wy wife and I are renting now was previously occupied by friends of ours. My wife was telling the lady half of those friends about the hidoues border we removed while painting. Apparently, the former lady of the house is the one who hung it.

Jilly, you can put wallpaper over wallpaper, but make sure that the wallpaper that's on the wall now is not starting to peel. I would take the border off if I were you, because you will probably see it underneath if you wallpaper over it.



There is paste that is made for this purpose--it usually says "vinyl on vinyl" or "heavy-duty" or something like that on it. If it says "for pre-pasted wallpaper" on it, it won't be strong enough.



Frankly, it would be easier for you to strip what's there and paint. Unless they wallpapered directly on drywall without priming, which means that you won't be able to get it off at all.



Try peeling some in an inconspicuous place. If it starts to peel off fairly easily and you can see paint underneath, you're O.K. If it's stuck really hard and rips, forget it.



The easiest way to take it off is to rip the top layer of vinyl off in big pieces and there will be the underlayment of paper and paste left. Mix equal parts warm water and white vinager in a spray bottle and soak it down a few times. It should scrape off with a putty knife.



Don't bother buying DIF or anything like that--vinager works just as well.



Sorry this isn't funny. Kiss my ass if you don't like it.

Jilly, you can also use a mixture of equal parts water and cheap-o fabric softener on the paper if you can get the vinyl layer off. Soak it down with a sponge, leave it for a min or two, then sponge over it again and the paper will peel right off the paint.



Our bedroom had ugly pale blue/pink/silver early-90's wallpaper when we moved into our new house. It was hideous, but the fabric softener worked and smelled pretty.

No one at home depot would know what to do with wallpaper, even the guys in the wallpaper section. I know this for a fact because I do work there, and I am a Frost-ing idiot when it comes to questions about Shakespeare in my department.

Yes it does. They have a policy that they have to interview three people for every position. I was the best person out of three people for my job, and I don't know Shakespeare. Imagine all the other dunces that got the job that way.



Or, maybe I hit a little far up the thigh with my maddening kick to the nuts of Home Depot employees everywhere. I work with these nutballs every day.

It really bugs me that your name is so similar to Mad Matt. I don't care how long you've been here, you need to change it.



Also, you are one of the co-workers I Frost-ing HATE, who is a total moron and gives Shakespearety customer service and can't be bothered to learn about the department he works in every Frost-ing day.



Do you think admitting you're an idiot makes it less irritating for people who work with you? It does not.



Get off your lazy ass and stop hanging out near the cashiers and in the break room. I work with several Matts. I'm gonna kick your ass if I find out you work in my store. Actually, I abuse all the Matts I work with on a daily basis, so it doesn't matter.

Hun, ive worked there for little more than a week. I have no reason to dislike it yet, I was just in the mood to get people yelling at me.



Wierd, i know, but we all get our jollies off in our own way.



Since when does the sense of humor at Home Depot fail? Whatever. Ive never done this kind of crap before, I was just trying out my internet troll legs and it didn't work. Live with it, and I'm trying to think of a new name.



Jesus I thought the worst that could happen was that I get made fun of. I didn't know I could cross some serious boundaries or anything.



Like everything else on this site, what I've said in the past few hours is full of bullShakespeare and toilet water, so lay off and give me some room to grow. n00b barely describes me I'll bet I've not posted more than 40 times for christ's sake. Jesus wouldn't treat a guy this way, ya know.
