Faux painting is a simple way to add elegance and sophistication to your walls. I did it in my bedroom, to make it a romantic, warm room. I know that you can buy special rollers and kits that mix the paints, but it seemed to complicated and expensive to me. So instead, I used a sea sponge. It was an easy way to create faux painting on my walls, and on my old fireplace, to create the illusion of bricks. I wrote an article with the step-by-step instructions, which you can
read here.
