For some reason this isn't showing in my article list...so I am just pasting here.
Me and my youngest this morning.
Ok, here is the Dining Room wall treatment done with tissue paper and glaze...it gives the room a very old world feel. Once I am done sewing the curtains I will give better pics of entire room. Don't mind the space ship in the first shot...outside the window.
It really isn't a style as much as a technique. It makes the room look old world....so I picked sheer fabric to mimic the texture, and will probably going with gold curtains...
HAHAHAHA. Nice way of saying its ugly?
Yeah, that's why I waited to post them...no matter the lighting, dark outside or daylight, chandelier on or off, the photos just don't look like the real thing. It's not as dark in real life....but I think once I have the curtains up and there is something substantial against the wall...the effect may come across on photo...then again maybe not.
No, it is not ugly. It is different and I have not seen it before. I was curious. I am male. It is Blue. I was trying to see if I could engage in a discussion from the female perspective. I guess no one will mistake me for a female! I still say white is white! And I dont see the difference between eggshell, and lily! I did find it interesting. Guys dont look at something (with few exceptions) and say "UGLY". We know we are in trouble when we look at it and go "HUH?" so the stupid ones go "HUH?" and the rest of us ask for explanations so we can talk intelligently about eggshell white and off white!
Oh! I see.
Well it is blue, but not as dark as it is showing in the photos....the glaze is a pearl color with gold. I painted the glaze on, then blotted it with cheese cloth.
This room with candle light is amazing. There is something that happens to the picture when I use my flash, seems to darken the walls.
Anyway, if I were doing it all over again, I'd probably just do it above or below a chair rail, or do one primary wall. I could still do that....all I need is a bottle of water and a plastic scrapper to get the stuff off.....but I hate to do it since it took hours and hours to get this effect.
When I get whole room photos, maybe it will show better....we'll see.
I am a neophyte, so it is an education!
Thank you for the compliments Angela.
And the kiss!
Yeah it does...I will have to read the instruction manual though....hahahaha. I'm not really liking that idea! But I will have to do something because the walls aren't turning out well in photos.
Thanks.
