Help regarding old walls

[Jacq]

Can anyone give me tips on decorating an old wall with thousands of layers of old wallpaper partly stuck all over them. Is there any sort of paint technicque I could use to either improve the rough surface or to blend it so it almost looks antique maybe?

I was also considering using old music sheets as a type of wall paper.
Id be very greatful for any and all ideas.If it helps I have a brass bed in the room, and Im going for the shabby chic look.

Thanks

Jacqui

God do you live in my house! the previous owner was a wallpaper loon, I'm surprised she never stuck it to the ceilings!! If you need it off to even it out a steamer will lift it nooo problem!

If not you can sand it down, it'll look a bit rough but coat of paint will flatten it a bit
