One of the small bedrooms in this house, was dark blue wallpaper, and the opposite walls, at one time, had stick on cork tiles. They were stuck on quite well, and at some point the previous owner must have tried to remove them, taking the drywall surface paper with it. So, now we are faced with the fuzzy insides of the drywall board.
We were trying to avoid tearing down the drywall, as this would damage the ceiling, and it looks like they had already put another thin sheet of drywall on as a second layer. (who knows what happened to the first layer!).
I took off as much loose paper as I could, and the remainder of the cork, and am trying my hand at "mudding". I have already used two small pails of spackle, and will sand it tomorrow, and see what it looks like. Worse case scenario, this room will have a "plaster look"! (That is the before picture you see)
