Obviously, there are many things that are different between north and south.  Most noticeably is the geographical difference.  Along with that comes the weather, where you’re either shoveling snow all winter or you’re wearing shorts year ‘round.  Then there are general manners-we’ve all heard of southern hospitality, and also how ‘reserved’ northerners can be. (See, I still have my southern tact intact! ha!)  And as for food, northerners eat lots of philly cheesesteaks, clam chowder, pierogies, and steamed clams.  Southerners loo-oove their BBQ, mexican food, and peach cobbler.  But here’s another difference that I’m not so sure about.  Northern homes have plain, non-textured, flat walls. Southern walls are textured.  But WHY?  Why is there a distinction like that between north and south?  And just where do the two meet?  Is there an imaginary ‘texture line’ that I don’t know about?  I finally googled (one of my favorite verbs) textured walls vs. non-textured walls.   What I’ve learned is that non-textured walls are more of a traditional style, while textured walls are for a more dynamic and dramatic look.  You can go with an orange peel, popcorn, splatter, or knockdown look.  And you can have light to heavy texturing.  So many choices, so many decisions.  Our summer rental has, in my opinion, very heavily textured walls. 

Seriously??!?  How textured is too textured?  When your TOILET PAPER IS TORN TO SHREDS, that’s too textured!  Just an observation.
