I just bought a home that has a small half bath (maybe 6' x 4') that I am going to redo. The previous owners apparently tried peeling off some of the wallpaper but what didn't come off easily was left on the wall and then painted over it. I tried scoring the wall to peel off the painted wallpaper since none of the ends are curling or anything but I ended up peeling off the top layer of drywall. Rather than trying to keep peeling off paper and ruin my drywall I thought I might try putting texture on the wall that could hide the ugly, semi-papered walls. My problem is I have no idea how to start.

What kind of techniques can I use and what steps do I follow?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Cath
