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. |
It sounds like your very artistic. I really like the faux brick look, but I don't know if I'm skilled enough to do it. Thanks for the paint color and techniques. I'm starting to get the itch to do something new.
