The In the Process photos




We, as all project doers do, ran into problems during our bedroom transformation. I had picked a faux paint technique to do on two of our four walls. The other two walls would be a solid green a shade darker than the top coat of the faux treatment. The treatment called for a neutral colored base coat. We chose a lovely warm tannish brown. The idea was to use a whisk broom to create subtle striping in the top coat. I'm thinking like a slight bamboo effect. Well, that's not what it looked like. Our "subtle" striping looked like a very, very, very bad paint job. Hence, the top photo....Needless to say, after all that hard work, I decided to scrap the whole technique idea and go with a solid color. I decided to stick with the darker green.
