The garage is also another place to look, old sponges, mop heads and brushes can be used to finish a wall that would look professional enough to impress your family members. Practice is the key and try to do it outside so your wife won’t see what you’re up to (she might get it done before you have the chance to do so yourself). and try to attain a level of mastery that you can achieve the same results over and over again. Focus on the borders so they don’t stand out and look messy. A stiff brush drawn against wet paint can give you a bi-color effect allowing the parts the bristles scrape to show color underneath.

Staring at a wall that seems too bland and could use some sprucing up you wonder what can be done. Well, good news for there’s is a lot of creativity that is stored right inside of you and faux finishes is one of those areas where your imagination would come in handy. Think out of the box meaning brushes, rollers and the likes and take a look in and around the house for materials than can be used to apply paint to attain a unique finish that you can call your own. A trip to your children’s play box can yield a lot of useful stuff such as old blocks and toys that are quite handy when doing faux finishes. The kitchen drawers are also a nice place to find unusually unique stuff you could use for painting and applying the paint.
