Don't use the standard 'paper' but stuff meant for bathrooms. it's a

washable.


Don't know where you got "a bit thicker"; it isn't. It ("green" drywall)
is the same thickness, but is moisture resistant. Also not washable,
though it will be after being primed and painted with washable paint.

I think he was talking about wallPAPER.

In which case, you want to use SOLID VINYL wall covering. (or mylar
foil)
