Adding texture to your walls and ceilings can give your home an artistic flair. Leah from See Jane Drill gives you tips on how to make several different patterns with household tools. Watch as Leah adds texture using a broad leaf roller, sponge, stipple brush, smooth trowel, midget trowel, swimming pool trowel, finished trowel, tile trowel, and more. Follow these steps to add texture to your walls and ceilings.
1) Add water to joint compound to achieve your desired consistency.
2) Use a 1/2 inch nap roller or a trowel to apply the joint compound to your wall or ceiling.
3) Use your desired tool to add the perfect texture

I've been painting for 16 years with a house painting company that has been around for 40 years. We just encountered a 1970's interior trailer job. We usually work on Old houses, like 1800's early 1900's or sometimes new construction. The trailer job we are looking at involves a lot of new random Sheetrock sections on ceilings. the home owner wants us to match the finish on the ceiling to the old texture. Even though I feel like I have a lot of experience, your video has given me some great ideas to bring to the table. I love your approach to teaching. thank you for this video.
