Default Help regarding old walls

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
