Smart painting!

You can give your home that artsy look but will have to invest in a lot of artwork which might get expensive. An inexpensive way for the tyros...invest in a gallon paint bucket & trick the eyes! Here's how to go about it...A very easy & dimeless painting technique that will give your home a 'wow' factor...

"Crinkling" faux finish:
Materials and Tools:

Plastic food wrap, paint, and paper towels to use as blotting cloths
1. Bunch up the plastic wrap to create a crinkled, uneven surface.
2. Dip the plastic wrap in the paint.
3. Blot off any excess paint on your paper towels.
4. Press the plastic wrap onto the wall surface.
5. Alternate the angle at which you apply the paint to the surface to create an interesting pattern.

  2. It generally refers to a the wall paint.Paint a base coat in semi-gloss. Tape off all trims. Select your top-coat paint color and mix with glaze — it should be three parts glaze to one part paint (3:1).For more informtion on types of paints, see my next post.
