Hi,

About everyone here has painted there walls. The process is easy but time consuming. Wash the walls with TSP, let dry completely, prime with Kilz Premium 2, paint with color of your choice but the best quality paint you can afford.

As I mentioned earlier there are many threads on this, there are also many texturing ideas. Take a moment to check out this forum, you might want to do something besides just paint, LOL.

NO, do not remove the wallpaper from the sheetrock, this is called wallboard, you will have a complete mess if you try to separate it.
