Post 17: Dining Room Part 5 -- Texture

Texturing.


We've only had one experience with it so far -- read more about it in our entryway post!  With as much wallpaper as we have in our house, though, I think we will get pretty good at it!


After pulling down the wallpaper in our dining room, we were ready for our second texturing project.  We didn't want to get texture on anything but the upper half of the wall, hence, our funny tape, newspapers, and drop cloths everywhere.  These helped tremendously!


Alan mixed the mud to a milkshake consistency and then used the hopper that my dad loaned us to get to texturing!


In about 10 minutes, the job was done!


It's hard to see, but the walls are textured in this picture.  You can see the drop cloth on the left pulled away a little because of the weight of the mud.


Here's another view.  The chandelier is wrapped up because we were getting ready to prime the whole room.


Next, we'll show you how Alan used his paint sprayer to prime everything but the floor (and most of the window)!  Click here for the details!


Thanks for visiting!
