How do I repair my walls after removing wallpaper?
When I took down an added chair railing type of half wall to wallpaper I learned why it had been put there (in the bedroom) they had done a horrible choppy job of cutting holes for outlets. I went a head and did temporary fixes so I could still wallpaper. Now I want to change it out but want to do it right this time. I don't want to do sheet rock on my own so am looking for other options.

if it's not so bad, you could buy bigger outlet covers.
Some gaps can be fixed using caulk.
You can use sheet goods such as wainscoting and paint it to suit your tastes.
wainscoting is normally a panel that covers the lower part of the wall with trim at the top.
