I finally got around to texturing the den last week. I borrowed an air compressor from a friend, and bought a hopper and some drywall mud.
Started out by practicing on some scrap drywall in the garage to get the texture looking right. Had to adjust the air pressure, as well as some settings on the hopper until it looked right.

After spraying the texture on, you wait about 10-20 minutes until it barely starts to harden, then you knock it down with the drywall knife for "knockdown texture."
I'm very happy with it, except for a few imperfections from my previous coats that still show through the texture. I'm going to go back in and try to sand and/or float the imperfections.
