William on Nov 04, 2016Applying drywall over the stucco is one way. Another is to put a skim coat of drywall compound over the existing stucco. Drywall would cost more than the skim coat and just about the same amount of labor involved.Helpful Reply

Judy Holcomb on Nov 05, 2016If you don't want to make permanent changes at this time, think about just using patterned sheets and either hanging from small rods in a light gather or spraying the walls with starch and hanging them like wallpaper (this was a designer's hint I used one time on inside stucco that was a rental and I couldn't make permanent changes to) ... or there's always a spray paint that mimics the look of sand/granite or other metals/stone if you wanted to experiment with. I get a lot of ideas from magazine or web "This Old House" ; home rehab / staging, etc.; or simply browsing the net. Have fun and find something that pleases you and think about how you will use the room.Helpful Reply

Abbigail Hunter on Nov 16, 2016Skimcoat is not that hard and if you thin it down a little it will go on very easy. Then sand it to take out the little ridges and seal with primer and paint. I have done this and it takes about 2 days to complete.It takes 1 day to skimcoat and then let it dry for 24 hours and sand then prime and paint.Helpful Reply
