Hello!
Need some help here. This is the rec room in my basement which has a very unique specialty finish which looks very nice....
Please view my gallery of what I am trying to re-create:

I am going to do some remodeling (adding a Bar Booth) and I am going to need to duplicate this Specialty Finish as closely as possible. I understand it was laid on with a thinned out coat of drywall mud. After that I am lost. There are several hand techniques in play, including a criss-cross pattern as well as vertical dragging, and dragging while lifting up . My question is what type of tools were use to do this. I don't think it's a sponge because I tried that in a small experiment (although it might be - perhaps I had the wrong sponge). Could the tool(s) have been a Rubber Graining Tool, paint brush, comb, trowel? ANy links to tools would be helpfull as well as the technique.
Thanks for any suggestions after you see the photos.
Brian
