The imperfections on the walls in the first room painted still show through the lovely slight orange peel texture that inadvertantly (not by design) got there. Interestingly enough. That is what I see when I woke up this morning and looked in the room in the morning sunlight. Next decorating tip is to put bookshelves or something over those bulges to cover them up, lol! Be that as it may, Bill, I am playing around (I hope not to my disadvantage because I tend to make things worse) by spackling other holes myself. At least I'm learning. Perhaps I'm learning that I just can't do this job AT ALL. But we'll see when the "professional" comes in, lol, to actually do the job.
However, getting back to texture, if I thought it would 'work,' and by work I mean 'sell,' I would apply "mediterranean" texture, that is slabbed texture like stucco look. I think it's beautiful. Perhaps you are right -- perhaps the next owner or tenant will have a rough job taking it off, I don't know. But on the other hand, couldn't they skim coat the whole thing? At this point, I'd just be happy to sell the joint almost for nothing. I hate being in a condo, never should have bought a condo. I suppose it has its advantages (such as having the lawn mowed for you...), but other than that, I can hardly think of any.

Textured walls cover a multitude of imperfections, but they are a real pain
to repaint and when you decide to remove the texture, and you will, it will
be a major hassle to try to fix.

If I do my walls with orange peel texture, would that cover up a lot of
flaws? Also -- I suppose I would definitely have to hire a professional
painter because there is no way I could handle a sprayer.
