What does your wall say to your guests when they walk into your home? This home greets their guests with a splash of energy and sophistication. The min guests walk into the house, they know there welcomed.
One may ask what faux finish product was used for this wall. The answer is simple. Pure paint, and good old simple products that you can't find on the shelf of sophisticated faux finishers. I'm an artist, who pushes products to get results that aren't right out of the can... and that's the way I like it...
This was an interesting challenge. Since it's an older home in the Homeland area in Baltimore, I didn't want whatever we decided to do, jump out and clash with the style of the home. The final result was to do an embossed painted look, that picked up the banister colors. When you look closer there is a hint of gold to add some light in this somewhat dark hallway.
Here's a proof of a kitchen mural I will be doing. It was inspired by this arched wall that I had previously done. Instead of reproducing the previous mural I mixed up the colors with light peaches and apricots vs the neutral colors. It'll be interesting to see this up against the cabinets that are in the kitchen. I have a feeling that it will make the kitchen flow more rather than be choppy.
These are the same stripes that were shown in the previous post. The lighter stripe leads into the hallway creating another good merge between colors, but also adds an interesting twist in size and form.
Before:
After: I used the same technique that was used in the sun room, and created the red stripe. After I did the red stripe I used the same faux in the sun room and created a smoke look over the stripes. It tied in everything wonderfully!
