said by FureverFurry:Thank you for the knowledge ! May I harp back on my interior LR wall that "sounds" like it's concrete (not drywall sound) .. it has that "bumpy" texture. So would that mean the previous owners used eggshell or maybe satin? I can't wrap my head around making a concrete wall have a bumpy finish. Yes, I'm clueless
Paint, unless specialty paint, has no texture. Finish refers to the level of glossiness. It's called eggshell because it's not quite flat, but not glossy either. If you look at an egg, it has just a hint of sheen to it. If you apply eggshell paint to a perfectly flat surface, it will remain perfectly flat.
