Creative ways to deal with old wall paper!!

[Steve DellaPelle]

Every time I walk into an older home and see wall paper I cringe....

I have spent countless hours spraying and scraping old wall paper, layers upon layers, a long and tedious process that almost seems wasteful of time.

How do people deal with wall paper? Is it best to paint over it? Do you put dry wall up over it? What have you done with wall paper to make your rentals look nice and modern?
