Sorry about the disco lights they are from previous owners.
The walls as you can see from all the indents are in a pretty bad state,
I then think what they have done is paper over with liner paper and then
paint to try and disguise it but hasnt worked. Admittedly its no to bad
in normal daylight.
Several rooms are much the same, I cant afford to get the rooms skimmed
and my own attempts at skimming fall well short. So looking for my best
DIY options.

Any thoughts?
