Love this stuff. My daughter decided to remove the brick (yes brick) backsplash in her kitchen. The house is about35 years old. It left huge holes in the plaster. We applied several coats of a drywall compound and got it as smooth as possible but there was still bumps and whatnot. Then applied the paint. wallpaper (with a very small pattern) and painted it the same colour as walls. it looks 1000 times better and very inexpensive to do (they don't plan on staying in that home for more than 2 years). Great stuff that wallpaper and a tremendous difference to the look of the kitchen.

every wallpaper store carries it and yes, Home Depot also. Tonnes of different patterns. it really is a quick and inexpensive fix to rough walls of any type and it paints up beautifully.
Home Depot carry's a good selection of pre-pasted texured wallpapers. I used one to cover a panelled wall in my dining area and it worked great.....you can not tell that there is panelling underneath
that sounds really interesting - where might i find such wallpaper? are you referring to "anaglipta" perchance (i probably spelled that sooo wrong but i hope you know what i mean).... :)
We're renovating a bedroom in a house that is 120 years old and removed layers of wallpaper that had been painted over, many times. Because the wall (it's only the one wall between the windows) is in such rough shape, we decided to use the textured wallpaper and paint it the same as the rest of the room and it looks fabulous! The paper comes in a number of patterns and textures an is only 14.95 for a double roll!
