what is the best way to texture the ceiling in just one room?

[brooks05]

Prime the walls and ceiling with a roller. Tape off where the wall meets the ceiling. Mix ceiling paint with sheetrock mud in a bucket. Use a stomping brush to apply To the ceiling. The thicker the mixture the rougher the texture will be. If you want a finish with no points or more of a venetian plaster look you can go back with a 2x4 and lightly drag the texture. You can do as little or as much ad you want to at a time. Just put a drop cloth under the area you are doing
