How do I use self stick tiles without sanding texture on walls?
I need to redo my kitchen. I’m good with repainting my cabinets and drawers. 10 years ago, we had a fire and while I asked for an orange peel finish on the walls, I got a bumpy rounded texture...... I’d like to inexpensively Use some self stick tiles for a backsplash and behind the stove. I do not have one now. Is there a way around sanding my walls?

You can use a skim coat of drywall compound and smooth the walls.
I would sand as much of the texture off with a power sander, followed by a skim coat of spackle to fill in any imperfections and dents.
Another option is to cover the wall with a thin plywood and then install your tiles.
