Buy some decent, non-shedding brushes for cutting in the edges,
then buy and learn to use a roller.
Start with the smallest / least used room until you have learnt to
equally load up the roller with paint.Wash down the paper with Sugar Soap, with two buckets.
One has the sugar soap solution,
the other is the rinsing water for the rag/cloth you are using to wash/clean your wall paper.
Change the rinsing water frequently, as soon as neccessary, so you are only ever washing the walls with clean sugar soap solution.Quality water based paint can be 'let down' with 10-15% water to thin it,
for the first coat,
to reduce the 'grab' of dry wallpaper as the roller makes first impact.

Easy kids. Sorry for the bait question, but any recommendations on white paint for walls and ceilings?
Am painting a whole two bed flat so the fewer coats I need to do the better, esp with the (historic) water damage I need to paint over. Is there any diff between the really expensive stuff and the bogstandard paint?
