My better half does the faux stuff and she is getting really good at it now. For this effect she painted a base coat of yellow and let it dry for 24 hours. Then she applied a top coat of a rust color in 3 foot sections and finally sponged some of it off to end up with the orangey color. Our house is older and this faux stuff hides most of the imperfections in the drywall. Besides, plain white like most folks do is boring. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

We recently did the top two floors of the house with the texture and faux treatment. I'm all for DIY projects but after seeing how much work went into it, I'm glad we had a professional do it.
