    While painting over wallpaper isn't the best option, sometimes it's the only option.

    Forget what you've heard: It's possible to paint over all wallpaper - and not just the paintable type.

    Our client asked us to design a one story extension on the back-façade of a 1900th housing complex. Just like the extensions of the neighbours.
