(Sorry about the format, I have been at it for 2 hours... I give up)
1. Pick your photo and find some texture. You are going to need two separate photos to achieve this effect.
2. I like to warm up the texture using the hue and saturation tool. Then intensify the colors in the photo you are going to edit. Get the photo how you want. You need to do most of your editing now because the effect will wash some of the colors out
3. Now it is time to combine. With the move tool (quick key:V for Vaughn) drag the texture image on top of you other image. Make sure that all the images are unlocked. Click on the lock in the layers pallet. You can stretch if you like to increase the size of it. Pixilation may accrue but it is fine because it will not show.
4. Now we want to adjust how the layer interacts with the other layers. In the layers pallet. Click on the texture d layer and choose overlay from the drop down menu at the top. You may also want to change the opacity to make it less intense.

I like the distressing pattern that you overlaid onto the house photo. Where did you get it? Just online or did you take it yourself?
It is just another photo that I took, of cracking plaster. always I good idea to keeps some textures around.
