I dont specialize in textured finishes, but if you go to doityourself.com....I guarantee the contractors on the site will even step you through it.

The best site I have used over and over again Better homes and gardens....It teaches you how to do everything from marbalizing your walls to any texturizing. I wish you luck and have fun :)
