I just stripped 3 layers of wallpaper from a bedroom in my home. The wallpaper was applied directly to the sheetrock (drywall?). I did the same thing in two bathrooms. One bathroom, I added a mix in "grit" type finish...and I don't like that. The other bathroom, I just primed the wall, then painted. The walls in this room are too smooth and I'm trying to find a way to roll on a texture that looks similar to orange peel. I would prefer not to spray a texture, so I'm trying to find out if there is something I can roll on that will give a slightly textured surface that will look more finished when painted. I've read some posts about using a joint compound, rolled on. Is this just a powdered drywall compound? Is there a specific roller I should use for the application? (A rep from Lowe's said to use an elastomeric stucco paint, but I'm not sure if this is going to add any texture?!) Thanks for any advice!

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a high rise condo that had exposed concrete ceilings. Against my better judgement i listened to my husband and painted the ceiling white with white concrete paint. The problem is I hate it and wish that I had left it alone. How can I get that concrete color again. Is there a simple to way to strip the paint or should I just try painting it a grey color to look like the concrete again. Any words of wisdom are much appreciated.
