Dian, thanks for posting the detail about the roller nap. I have some painting projects coming up and even though our texturing isn’t as thick as what you describe, I think I’ll give that roller a try. Love the white paint recommendations too. I’ll get some samples of those.

Yep, I’m totally in it for the closets. 🙂 You’re right, paint is quite the semi-affordable blessing. And we’re actually using Shoji White on the exterior of the house, starting with the shed tomorrow morning!

This is a big undertaking, but what a complement that your brother trusts you, and you’re a great sister for agreeing to help! Girl, I chuckled when I read that the closets need organization. (That’s why you took on the project, right?) Paint has always been a friend to my budget. And, paint can cover a multitude of past sins. My 25-year old cottage has a stippled ceiling throughout. Since mine isn’t as drippy as your brother’s ceiling, I painted the ceiling in my master bath, using the “Wooster Professional Super/fab R243 9″ 1 1/4″ Nap for Extra-rough Surfaces.” I chose Sherwin Williams 7007 Ceiling Bright White in Satin finish, I love that the satin finish reflects light so well and shall use it throughout the rest of the house. The finish almost looks pearlized. Some of my walls are SW 7042 Shoji White (Satin finish) and the others are SW 50% Anew Gray (Satin finish). Both are mixed in a base of Extra White. The 50% Anew Gray is a light neutral greige. Looking forward to seeing your finished design!
