DIY & Home Improvement

i used oil based paint since it was in the bath

for the walls, i learned a trick on the vinyl wallpaper (it's in a mobile home), mix 5# of premixed wall 'mud' into a gallon of very good adhesive primer, put it on with a 3" roller if you can find one, 2 1/2" works too. it creates a nice 'orange peel' texture on the wall then just go over it with your wall color and it's great.

we're done that throughout the house. in the main living area we pulled the expansion joint covers and filled them in but in the bedrooms and baths, we just painted right over them and they look fine to me
