This is so great! Just got it put up  but not yet painted. I purchased a roll of this pattern, on sale, as a test case to see if I would need the underlayment paper when covering paneling in the living room. I had one wall left to paint in the laundry room so used that as a testing ground. I papered to just under the windows since there will be a shelf above a faux cabinet which will cover plumbing, electric, and dryer vent.

I haven't wallpapered in 25 years but it went smoothly. You can't see the paneling grooves, and paint should really 'make it'. If I can edit, I'll post the finished job, too.
