Mount Vernon Faux Painting Project - WallDreams.com

WallDreams latest project was in the Mount Vernon area, near George Washington's home. The following pictures are of the master bedroom and office, which were both faux painted by WallDreams. The bedroom was done in a parchment effect, 2 glazes applied with cheesecloth over a lighter basecoat and the office was was finished in a strie, or dragging technique of a deeper blue glaze over a light blue basecoat.

The master bedroom:



The office, light blue basecoat:




If the technique had been applied in two directions (and with the addition of using a check roller tool), it would take on more the appearance of denim.



Til next time,

Donna of WallDreams
