gold or maroon. Help: Over a year ago I painted my room a two tone green suede faux finish.?
I love the way this must look with the sage green and brown. Don't paint it, please. Shop around for the perfect bedding and add some furniture with a very dark brown paint, or go to a lighter shade than the carpet. Sounds classic.





How about a classic with brown and green:

Or a more Ralph Lauren lodge look:

As my point of view as an interior designer I think you should paint your room again because you have caramel brown carpet and green curtains. Then the room is green suede so it too much green depends what style of furniture you have. It hard to tell if you can take pictures of the room and have people like us compare and see what you have done so far. So I hope you can find the right color for interior and find great bedding! Let us know what it looks like!
You can find all kinds of comforters that would work with this room just the way it is. Here are some I hope you like; it's hard to pick because I'm not sure of the shade of your walls, but I hope this helps anyway.

Like any of these?

I painted my kitchen, using faux finish product called a lime wash, glaze. Its been two weeks, runs when wet.

I painted my kitchen two weeks ago, using a lime wash/glaze, you start with a base coat and then apply the wash. But i had splashed some water by accident, and you could see it run. You can actually take a wet paper towel and wipe off the glaze. It looks beautiful but i am worried somethings missing. A worker at Lowes said it takes 30 days to set. To me that is a long time, did i miss a step. I applied base, then applied the glaze. I personally think it needs a clear protector, but that would make a big mess when wet. HELP!!I painted my kitchen, using faux finish product called a lime wash, glaze. Its been two weeks, runs when wet.
I have used this product before and it is a pain to deal with. You need to put a varnish on it. This product rubs off very easily. Once your white wash effect has dried, you can protect it by applying two coats of a low luster water based varnish. (If you don't protect your walls, the low luster diluted paint will rub off easily or run when it gets wet). Oddly enough when you mix the paint with the lime wash you need to add water to it. Otherwise it becomes very dry and when it gets wet it runs and will also rub off very easily. Sorry I am an Interior Designer so I have tips about all kinds of stuff.

Wood grain (Look) paint. Where do you find it at?I am not talking about doing the faux look with tool.?

I saw someone use it on baseboard trim several years back, and it looked decent. Can't seem to find it....

Many years ago we bought a false wood grain paint kit. First you painted everything a base color like tan. When that was dry you put on the second color with a stiff brush trying to make streaks. When that was dry you put on the third color the same way as the second. It really looked like real wood. The product came in different shades for different woods. I don't know if this is still available.
There is no such thing.
try Lowe's or home depot.

Green/yellow paint questionable? Quick fix with faux finish?

I painted a room with a green that I LOVE and a yellow, that I LOVE. I'm just not sure I LOVE them together! Now I'm considering doing a faux paint over the yellow with a brown glaze. Any suggestions.Green/yellow paint questionable? Quick fix with faux finish?
How about picking one of the colors as your main color, and then maybe doing really wide stripes or harlequin diamonds with the other color on an accent wall? That way you can enjoy both, but make a bigger commitment to one of the colors.Green/yellow paint questionable? Quick fix with faux finish?
Do the green over the yellow.Just dip a rag in the green and dab till your hearts content and it will be beautiful

I don't know what color to paint my white vanity. Sink/toilet are white. Counter is dark faux brown granite?

I tried to NOT replace the toilet, that is why I chose another white sink. But the vanity is also white. The dark brown top and white sink certainly have contrast. I would love to repaint the vanity but not sure how that would look. Floor is golden tone stone. Walls are a coco brown. HELP!!!!I don't know what color to paint my white vanity.

Leave it white. You have just described the colors in my bathroom. I love it the way it is. There is enough color to make everything blend and look pleasant with the white vanity.

    I know next to nothing about faux finishes. I would like to paint one wall in my bedroom with a deep burgundy?

    (I have that paint color picked out) but I think I would like to put some gold (metallic) embellishment or flecking onto the wall also. Can anyone tell me how to do this? thank you in advanceI know next to nothing about faux finishes. I would like to paint one wall in my bedroom with a deep burgundy?
    If you go to Wal Mart in the paint dept they have brochures showing how to do faux finishing or you can go on line to HGTV.com and check out their Faux Finishing .


    You might want to try sponge painting over your burgandy it is really the easiest of all the faux painting. You must get a natural sponge though since the plastic ones do not work well at all.


    You paint your basic (burgandy) let dry, then dip you sponge in your top coat dab on a paper towel so as not to drip and dab, dab, dab. on the wall. Gold would be very pretty. You can also use a dollar feather duster, I did, and it is very pretty. Mine is yellow and blue.get 3 or 4 dusters.I know next to nothing about faux finishes.

    Lowe's has metallic flecks that can be added to paints.


    You could paint your walls with your base coat and then go over them with a metallic faux finish glaze. Lowe's carries these as well.


    But personally I use Modern Masters glazes. They are expensive, but a little goes a long way and they are more intense metallics.
