Ok here's the first post of some before and during pics, no after pics just yet. I sanded and smooth textured the lower portion of the walls to prep for wainescotting! This is a cheaper way to get that look, but plan on setting aside a good chunk of time and patience :)

I used an electric hand sander to get the high points of the wall texture off and then used a joint compound to fill in the lower areas to make that beautiful smooth look! Here it is so far and feel free to post any questions you may have :)
