Texture

Last week I worked on the walls that we have put up in the hallway upstairs.  I wanted to get the texture just right.  I did a bunch of research online and watched all kinds of videos about texturizing a wall. I figured out what type of texture we had and how to do it.  I was ready to go.

I got a sea sponge and the thinned compound and went to town...on the inside of the wall so you couldn't see it from the hallway.  This was just in case it didn't work out as expected.  I put the compound on the wall with the sea sponge, waited 10 minutes, then lightly pulled the putty knife over the texture to knock it down.  It turned out great....unfortunately, our texture is a bit different than what I did.

This is what I ended up with, after it dried and I painted it:

This is our existing walls and what it was supposed to look like:

Back to the drawing board!
