I "textured" my living room ceiling with the help of a contractor friend who had all the equipment. We mixed up the material by combining a gallon of white ceiling paint with, I think, 2 gallons of drywall mud for each batch. We used the extra large and thick rollers to slop the stuff on the ceiling and then I came behind with a thing that looked like a worn out flattened broom that I would smack around on the ceiling to create the texture.

I was the biggest mess I'd ever seen and we had the carpet covered in 2 or 3 layers of plastic and some still got through.

So, if this is what you're thinking of doing...Don't paint the wall first!
