I would not paint over the wallpaper. As a buyer, I would not like this and you want to do everything you can to please buyers! You will be "up a creek" if you have to remove the wallpaper AFTER painting over it. Be careful with a "Paper Tiger". I used one and when I got the paper off the drywall was pitted with tiny holes. This would be ok to paper over but not if you are using paint. DIF works great but if you run out you can also mix a little Downy with water and it does the same thing. Vanilla beans are expensive. Just pour a little vanilla flavoring in some water in a bowl and put that in the microwave.

Good luck!
