Wallpaper

So I have been planning on tackling the wallpaper in my bathroom for months no, so I just finally decided to do it since DH is at work.

WELL now I have cardboard showing on the wall, I think I ripped off the sheetrock, OMG DH is going to be pisssssed LOL

Is there anything I can do?

Re: Wallpaper

Are you sure it isnt the backing of the wallpaper? You might have to scrape deeper through that to get it all off... If it peeled off rather easily, I'd say you still have the wallpaper backing on there...

Re: Wallpaper

Well I on most parts I have a white layer which is the sheetrock, then on little parts it looks like cardboard but I researched and it seems thats when happens when you pull the whilte part off the sheetrock.

We are going to have to spackle before I paint

Yeah, it sounds like you took off some of the drywall paper. As long as it isn't too much of it, you can just skim coat the wall with spackle and you'll be OK. If it's really bad, you may need to replace the drywall, or put a thin sheet over the existing.

Re: Wallpaper

yup you did. I did it too in my bathroomChat Icon Chat Icon you def have to skim coat it. Its annoying cause now you have to sand and all that stuff to get smooth walls.
