Think vertical pink corduroy. We painted a room every night for as long as I worked there.

High quality paint with high hide/solids properties will get you through it.
The problem comes later, when the wallpaper gets a mind of its own and starts to get air pockets underneath.

It is in a bathroom, ya know. Yukyukyukyukyuk.

Kurt, another option is to find someone who works out of their home installing and removing wallpaper and pay them to to remove it. If you can get it done for $75-100, it might be the best money you ever spent. With the economy the way it is, they might be willing to do it for a good price to have the bidness.

Have any of you ever wondered who was the first idiot who thought putting wallpaper in a bathroom was a good idea? Holy s#iT.
