Tutorials on How to Apply Decorative Texture To Your Walls and/or Ceilings

There are a number of ways to add "pizzazz" to your walls or ceilings.  More interesting than paint and easier than wallpapering, a ceiling or wall texture can really set a room apart.  Some textures are simple and others can take some practice to get the right look.  Here are some pictures of textures you can learn to do. 

Mike Bell of DrywallSchool.com has instructions available for the most popular textures at a very reasonable cost.  Plus you get e-mail support from Mike himself... something you'll never get in any book! 

The texture to the right is called Slap Brush, Crows Feet or Panda Paw.  It has an interesting random look to suit any decor.  If you'd like instruction on how to create this texture, click HERE.
The texture to the left is called Knock Down, Orange Peel or Skip Trowel.  It's becoming a very popular texture in many new homes instead of spray "popcorn"!  If you'd like instructions on how to do this texture, click HERE.
The texture to the right is called Mud Swirl.  This texture has been applied by skilled craftsmen in the finest homes.  Learn to apply this sophisticated texture yourself by clicking HERE.
