We tried painting our powder room a deep red and it ended up fusia pink. I finally ended up putting wall mud (joint compound) on the walls with a trowel and painting it a neutral color. When we bought this house it had ivy wall paper on the bottom half of this bathroom and I didn't want to remove it so I put the wall mud on to cover it up. I'll show a pic if I can find one.
Congradulations on your farm. You have a real talent in your decorating and I just love your color selections. |
I love your bathroom wall. I would love to do that too. My kitchen color I think is Russet from lowes, but I think there is different shades of the russet and I can not remember which one it is. I got a long edger and put the paint on the wall in sections and then I took brush (the ones you use for texturizing in the paint section, the firm natural brissel (sp) ones) and made criss crosses in it and then used a sponge to pat out the darker areas. It took about a couple 12 hour days to do. And around my counters on the back splash I made it look like concrete blocks. I cut news papers in rectangles the size of concrete blocks (alot of them) and I wadded them up in a ball and then un wrapped them and they are wrinkled, then you put the paint on the wall in that section and push the wrinkle paper on there and pat it down and then peel it off, be sure to layer it like bricks and stagger the next layer and make grout lines too. It is fun to see how it turns out.
