I seen some great ideas on Pinterest with foil metallic painting. I figured I would try this look in my master bedroom powder room. Sponge painted wall decor gives the walls the illusion that you've used highend priced paint/interior designer. What are your thoughts?


I would love to add texture to this like velvet what are your thoughts?

    I am a decorator. This is a very beautiful look. Before you get into this on a large scale, please get some samples mixed up in the colors you want. Then get a poster size poster board, a white board, and paint the board in the effect you are trying to get. You may try several different ideas before you decide on the final one. This way it will save you a costly mistake and you will be happy with the final results instead of wondering if the "other" idea you may have had might have looked better. Even if you have a few small bottle of sample paint left over I am sure you will come up with other ideas to work on that you could use with these paints.

      Hi Cheryl,

      You gave me some good pointers sample boards. The size in question is rather small and very private so I guess if I screwed up the color or technique it wouldn't be seen. Also if by chance there is leftover paint I'm sure I could come up with a design on canvas I could paint. Always wanted to freestyle on canvas, my alter ego is this brilliant painter.

      Thanks! Cheryl
