YOu don't want to hear this but for period correct old houses, they are hand toweled, smooth walls with slight imperfection from towels. Hard to explain.

I have multiple small spots to patch and a couple larger areas where we opened up the kitchen wall for electrical/plumbing. It’s been bugging me for years that I’ll do something and leave a smooth area that looks weird, and now I have to fix it. I think I’m going to pick up a cheap hopper gun and try to learn how to do this. Not going to try to take the whole house back to smooth. The entire fricking place was textured back in 2000. Sigh.
