Hanging Fabric Up Instead Of Painting

I have wallpaper that I spent a fortune for, and for re-sale, would like to keep. My teenage daughter wants to paint over it with black paint. I just read how a couple of coats of primer would cover up the wallpaper, then the black, but a friend said there's some way that you can put black fabric, like curtains, throughout the room, using rods or some other way of holding them up.

Problem is, you can't hang anything on the "curtains". Has anyone ever done this? Has anyone truly painted over wallpaper, with black paint, and then brought it back to life in a neutral color. Has anyone heard of this fabric hanging? I've been surfing around, but can only find people that use fabric over the wallpaper. Does it pull off the wallpaper once you take off? I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would really help. Thanks.
