    Bellagio Faux Walls

    by Cocoangel in Su Casa
    We've fallen in love with this paint treatment that looks a little like the walls of a Tuscan villa. These photos are from our dining room, my new favorite spot in our house.

    Thanks. I have to admit my hubby actually did the paint treatment. It's a two-paint technique. First you paint a base coat. Then a glaze goes on, using random criss-cross brush stroke. Before the glaze dries, you go over it with a kind of putty knife to smooth the brush strokes and give it a more Venetian plaster-ish look. We found info at Home Depot in the Behr paint section.

    I love this application and have done a dramatic 2-story Venetian finish for my living room. Hubby put up quite the fuss over how long the process took (someone else did it) but, is appreciative now.

    However did I miss this post -- You did a great job with it. I actually took it for Venetian plaster. Hat's off to you [and your hubby].
