nycchic24 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 big sponge at arts and crafts and make sure you blot it very well before applying to wall..... less is better! (you can always go back and touch up or go over again later) BLOT! (this is from my mom! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suthrnbelle Posted October 24 Author Report Share Posted October 24 thanks and hello to your mom ok, so i have heard there are 2 ways: you can either use 2 colors, and do one as the wall color and then one as the blot-over color, or you can use just one color--to do that, i was told you paint the wall, and then go back and blot and it doesn't give as much dimension color-wise but it looks testured...it that true?

nycchic24 Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 hmmm i would add like a tinted laquer to the paint if you are going to use the same color. i think it depends what kind of look you are going for. go to like Sherwin Williams nad ask or look at some of the books there.. (i remember seeing them when iwas painting my condo.. damn i did a good job on your room haha ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
