Does anyone know how "forgiving" texture paint is? We have hung new drywall,
patched with mud, and sanded. I'll be the first to admit...we're amateurs! It looks okay, but
not perfect. We are now ready to texture the walls. I was planning to buy the Behr
Texture Paint from Home Depot. I want to roll it on using a rexture roller and then
knock it down.
Does anyone know if this texture will help hide some of the flaws in our drywall job?
Or, will it make our mistakes look even worse? Do we need to consider some other
texture technique?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Texture will inherently mask imperfections, as will a very low sheen like flat paint does. Those funky textured paints are difficult to wash/maintain and/or touch-up, so take that into consideration.
