We're painting our dining room and kitchen. Plaster/lath walls, c.1950 post-war inner-ring suburb housing boom cookie cutter colonial.

When we pulled off the wallpaper in the kitchen, there was another layer of wallpaper underneath. This was NOT pullable. So we forged ahead with scraping it off. Actually, in some places, we succeeded in pulling it off a few inches at a time--and the paint under came with it. But only in places.

So now we have this wall that has half a coat of paint on it. Where do we go from here? Sand, prime, and paint? Try to strip the rest of it off? Other suggestions?
