I thought it was orange peel up there? I haven't been up on ceilings to check it out but a painter guy I know said they spray ceilings and walls with orange peel in the houses they do.

I do want the new look so if no texture is needed that's great, just have to do a little more mud and finish work to get a smooth finish I guess
