Collections: wall textures

Since this house has gone through many owners, many tenants, and many decades, it has ended up with an eclectic mix of fixtures and materials. These are small details that don't come through in other posts, so this is a chance for me to show you the "collections" in this house.

For some reason the two front rooms in the house have smooth walls and smooth ceilings, but the rest of the house doesn't. I'm still coming to terms with the textures here--they're nearly impossible to clean after decades of renters and I don't have the time or energy to paint them yet. And, let's be honest, in a small guest room you don't want your guest scraping themselves on the wall just to get into bed.

This is the kitchen ceiling. I think they were going for a small-curd-cottage-cheese-with-sudden-spider-shapes look. Nailed it.

This is the stairway, second floor hall, and most of the second floor ceiling. I hate it. It doesn't come clean, it's big and chunky, and it's not consistent. Eh, it's still way better than the other side of the house.

This is the bathroom ceiling. It's a nice mix of light bumps with huge swaths of plaster chunks. I'm pretty sure this one involved alcohol.

The third bedroom has painted wood paneling, for some odd reason. In the summer it smells like camp.

And my favorite texture of all, the space between the sink and the shelves in the bathroom! It's a thing of beauty.
