The Pox

 

Actually, I think it looks more like when smear calamine lotion on your skin after you've got the poison ivy. 

 

 
Then again, maybe it's more like polka dots. Yes, I like that better.  Less itchy. 

Heaven knows I will have the poison soon enough. 

I just put a very light first coat on the taped seams and screws.  The cat ranch has textured plaster and when we remodeled the game room, I did a similar textured look on the walls. 

However, I think we're going to do a smooth skim coat in House#1.  It will be faster.  I enjoyed creating the textured coat at the Cat Ranch, but at times I agonized over it attempting to make the next swirl "perfect" to the last swirl.
