The Dual Wool Roller by Wagner has a split head and uses a split paint tray, allowing you to apply two colors
of paint onto your wall with one motion. |
Bagging or smooshing walls is easy to do. The distinctive pattern that results adds depth to the walls and
is uniquely your own creation. |
Combine sponging with striping to give a textured look to the stripes. |
Crackle leaves an attractive finish. Kay prefers to use it on furniture because it is difficult to apply
on vertical walls. |
Manda Mudd helps you "create the beauty of time-worn plastered walls yourself." A three-step process
that you can apply to most rooms in a day, Manda Mudd gives your walls the textured look of plaster in one of 42 colors. |
Ragging gives a soft, delicate, textured effect that looks particularly good on furniture and artwork. Each rag
that you use is so different that the end result is truly unique. |
Sponging is easy and quick. Use it on walls, ceilings, and furniture to give them a textured look. Engage your
creative juices and sponge on different colors together. Let your imagination sponge a unique look all your own! |
The denim look adds a youthful appearance to a room. Be creative and use it on other pieces such as matting on a painting.
Using the textured pad in both a vertical and a horizontal direction gives a formal, linen look. This is a very nice look for your dining room. |
Crackle painting adds an antique look to accent pieces. Here are step-by-step directions on applying crackle to a clock. |
Give an old wooden cabinet new life and a new look or repaint rather than replace an old vanity by applying a faux finishing technique. |
