This is very possible. In fact, I did it to my living room. I used the bottled starch right from the shelf of the local gro store. Using the starch and fabric as you would paste and wall paper, you brush the starch on the fabric. I did no wall prep other than making sure it was clean and on 'lumps.' Its like putting up wall paper and cleanup is easy too. I didn't do the whole wall, but just went up so far and painted the top part. Where the pieces of fabric join, I used lathe painted dark brown (you can use any color, LOL) and put on a "chair rail" - 2" lathe to top it off. Hope you like the during and after pictures of my project!
