Hi
we are redoing our kitchen (plumbing to be addressed on the other forum). Our kitchen had a 4 foot wainscott border of cheap t/g pine. My wife and I both disliked the look. When I removed it (easy) we found adhesive from a previouse tile job. Very rough swirls all over the place. Is there a way we can smooth this surface, without sanding down to the plaster. I tried that and it does not look good.I have thought of putting up drywall 4X 8 foot sheets fit great and than place some brushed nickle trim on the upper edge.We do not want to drywall the whole kitchen. The problem is my wife has not decided on a finish for the walls. Could I install tiles to the existing rough walls or am I kidding myself. L O L Every time I take something down in this home it's never what I expect, allways more money and time....
Thanks for your time
Dave
