Don't forget to sand down the texture a bit after its done (after 1st prime coat).

When i met my wife and went over to the MIL house the first time I noticed was her drywall guy never did the sanding. That texture was so sharp that if you rubbed against it you'd be losing blood. So new guy trying to earn some brownie points I came buy the next week with paint and a pole sander, well brownie points and the fact of i planned on being there more and seeing that would drive me nuts.
