I have a half bath. We took down the wallpaper, the wall is rough & uneven.Suggestions for textures?
Answers:
It is a beautiful finish, durable and fairly easy to use. But, it is time consuming. They do offer classes on the application, ask in the paint department when the next class is because it is repeating and in my two stores at least once a month. Our paint department manager, however, keeps a board showing the different steps behind the counter and is willing when she is not busy, to help and guide customers through it.
I think it would be a wonderful solution to your problem and have every confidence that you would be able to handle the application process. It is kinda hard not to have it looking good because there are a lot of ways to "fix" mistakes as you go.

We used a sand-based paint that we applied with a roller. Then we dipped a stiff-haired brush in the same paint and "swiped" it over the wall. It looks great with the sand texture and the swirl "pattern". There are many colors to choose from. Ours is a light wheat color.

go to the paint store and tell them you want paint and a roller to do textuerd walls. they will set you up with the right stuff.
good luck.
Your best bet with the least amount of labor is to rehang
a new NON GLOSSY wallpaper (glossy wall paper will show
every irregularity under it.. Perhaps a vinyl grasscloth. Something rough and textured . wallpaper will assist you in hiding the condition of the walls. And it isn't hard to do. Perhaps a friend who hasdone it will give you a hand. Good luck.
Sorry I haven't used the Venetian plaster..
easiest way is lowes has a vinyl/plastic type sheeting for kitchens and baths it comes in 4x8 sheets and it comes textured it is white so you can paint it what you want, all you have to do is glue it up to your wall, i have seen this in many restaurants and clubs, it is durable and washable and about 22 bucks a sheet.i have used it in my half bath/vanity, looks great with a little wood grain plastic molding around it
I've used Home Depot's Venetian Plaster on several rooms after removing wallpaper. It's a wonderful replacement for wallpaper because your wall is flat and preped for already. I'm redoing a room now with VP and having to sand down the texturing...NOT FUN! It's easy to use just follow the steps in the pamplet. I'd use the top coat instead of burnishing, it has a much smoother finish and it gives more contrast to the product.
Good Luck!
