Hometime: Faux Finishing

Faux finishing is an art that uses painting techniques to give the illusion of texture on walls using simple, everyday tools like sponges and rags. It is also a decorating method that anyone can learn to do themselves, and in this accessible instructional, Dean Johnson and Robin Hartl show you the different ways to get the look you want. You'll learn the basic steps of decorative painting, the tools required by such an endeavor, and how to mix the glazes you will need; your hosts will also provide expert advice on paint choices, sample boards, base coats, and finishing.
