I have finally found the paint that I want to use for our bedroom. But I am a little hesitant...why you may ask? Well, I will be the first one to admit that I am not all that crafty. Allbeit I am doing MUCH better in climbing up the "Crafty Scale," but I'm scared I will bite off more than I can chew in this one. :D
This particular look I want involves glazing. Not once, but twice. So from what I understand from all the little freebie paint pamphlets you can accumulate from the Home Depot, I will paint the base coat and leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. Then I mix glaze with paint, use a sea sponge thingamagig (hehe ya like that spelling? yeah baby!) to carefully sponge/mix on this glaze. Then let that dry, and apply a third, darker coat and blend that in. In the picture, this looks awesome!!! Under the direction of me...it could be interesting, let's just leave it at that.
SO, I guess I'm looking for people who have "Glazing Tips" that they would like to share that may make this process go a little smoother (no pun intended ;) hehe). Anywho, I am excited about it, I think it will look great. Now I just need to plan for about 3 days in a row that I have work off before Thanksgiving...
Hope everyone is having a FANTABULOUS fall day! Smile big! :D
Our Family
- Evan and Kerri
- This is us! Evan and I were married in March 2006 in the Idaho Falls Temple. We met in August 2005 at the Pocatello Institute (gasp-one of those cheesy Institute stories, it's true!). Dating was an adventure, and we got engaged on top of the Conference Center in SLC after the First Presidency Christmas Devotional in December '05. It was COLD but very romantic, he did good ;). Evan graduated in December 2008 with his Bachelors Degree in Business and Finance--I'm so excited!! I graduated in May 2009 with my Bachelors Degree in Radiographic Science (X-ray). YAY!! Happy day!!! We both are currently working and livin' the dream. We purchased our first home in August '09 and are LOVING it! We have wonderful neighbors and friends, and look forward with much anticipation for whatever the future holds for us!

Sounds cool. I wish I could help, but I've never done anything like that on walls. But I want to see pics when you're done. Good luck!
holy cow, you are amazing!

Good luck, I tried to do it in my bedroom when I was 16, I finally painted over and gave up. However I didn't have the pamphlets from Home Depot. Posts some photos when your done!
Glad you are alive! Good luck with the painting! Let me know how that goes, I think Justin wants to do that to a room in our house (when we get a new one, so I have a while to get ideas).
