Well I'll take down the kitchen because most of the seams are opening.
But the master bath is hugh (15 X 12). Think I'll paint over. Seams are fine and the paper is 16 years old (sames age as the house). I did get an estimate to take down the paper and re paint of over $2K
Anyone experienced in painting over wallpaper?

I just took the wallpaper off my kitchen walls at the suggestion of my realtor. Squirted the walls with warm water and took the first vinyl layer off; then squirted again to remove glue/paper (came off very easy) took about four hours. When I tried to paint over wallpaper in the past the seams opened. If you are going to paint over paper, do a small section first. Good luck selling your house!
