@KimmyCMU1 Yes that's why u would need to put up some molding of some sort to alleviate that 1/2 inch.

Yes well the tiles are like thick ceramic tiles, I feel like they stick out like half an inch or so off the wall.

@KimmyCMU1 If you are worried that taking the Tiles off the wall will cause much more damage to walls and the Tiles are firmly stuck to the wall; you could just prime the Tiles first, and then skim over the tiles with mud 3-4 times. You would the need to put up some sort of Chair Rail on top of where tile meets the wall.

Or After you remove paper and glue and then seal the wall, Yes, skim entire walls and expect 3-4-5 Coats.

In my bathroom there are tiles covering the walls about 4 feet up that I want to remove. Above all the tile is just regular wallpapered walls, which I also want to take off. I wanted to remove the tile from the walls surrounding the vanity area, but Im sure the wall will be damaged behind that. So there are 4 walls that I wanted to do this to. Should I skim coat the entire walls after? I dont want it to have an obvious difference from the top to bottom. How many coats will it take?
