A Fresh Coat of Paint and a Little Imagination

Remodeling your house doesn’t have to be as daunting as it sounds. Your tired rooms just need a little bit of TLC and voila! It’s like brand new. It’s amazing how a fresh coat of paint breathes new life into any room. Have you heard of faux painting? Read on to add this powerful tool to your remodeling arsenal.

There are many ways to apply paint to a surface. Then let your creativity run wild and you can create a whole new room with just paint and a few basic tools. Faux painting is a special technique of painting a wall or other surface that looks like wood, marble, stucco or stone when you finish. For an added boost, you can use stencils or other found objects to create fascinating patterns and textures on your walls. Just imagine the possibilities!

You can create special effects that will look like wood grain, marble, granite or even tissue paper. Make a wall look new and modern or aged and crackled by accenting a solid-colored wall by dipping items as a sponge, dry brush, paper bag or feather duster and applying artistically.
