How do you line up textured walls and a ceiling to regular painted drywall
Our dining/living room has textured walls and celing, not the popcorn
stuff. Someone went through a lot of labor to smear and design the pattern
on them. Now in the kitchen, there is just regular drywall that is painted.
We wanna knock down the wall that separates the two areas and expand our
kitchen. Our dilema is how to have the textured and smooth walls and
celings meet without looking funny. We thought of running a wood beam
across the celing and down the walls but the layout would have it run down the wall in a very very odd area and look totally dumb. We need a lot of suggestions! Thanks in advance. We do NOT wanna carry the texture into the new kitchen area.
You can sand the textured wals smooth.
You can fill the texture and smooth the walls.
Either is a mess.
Some consider it enough of a mess to just go ahead and rip the drywall that has the unwanted texture out then replace it. This is sometimes cheaper due to the low cost of the material and high cost of labor.
More than likely you will not be able to match the existing
texture. I don't know if ur talking about knockdown texture or a stomped
texture. If it is knockdown, it is no problem to match it & it did not
take whoever long at all to do that pattern. If it is stomped ceiling (
where drywalls coat the ceiling with wet mud & take what looks like a mop
with half the mop head cut off & stomp it against the ceiling in a
pattern) you will find it very hard to match. It would then be best to skim coat the entire ceiling & reapply texture.
you're going to have to retexture the whole wall & ceiling (new
& existing) you have to patch the demo area, float the first coat, let it
dry, sand it then put on the texture.
If the area is not that large then I suggest getting someone to
retexture over all of it so that the area is all consistent. Or a cheaper
version would to buy a few cans of texture and apply it yourself. If the
area is large then you may consider completely retexturing. Hope this
helps.
