Sometimes it is just as hard to choose which walls to paint and what to paint on them as it is to learn the techniques.
Today, I received this question - How to choose what to paint…
Tip: When asking THAT Painter Lady for help, pictures will always be
a huge help for both of us. I often to mock-ups and sketches from the photos.
My reply is probably vague, but I try to give simple answers that don't overwhelme and then if you want more detail…we can work on other options and details.
Hi Reggie,
Hard to tell without pictures, but my suggestion is… don't over do the brick stuff. If their are too many things too look at, and the eye bounces around, it isn't nice to look at…it's junky looking.
Faux finishes are different than bricks… The more walls you do in the same room the better. If all the walls are white and one wall is a bold accent color that can be nice, but if that one wall has a deep rich faux finish on it… the room looks unfinished.
I'll be the cabinets would look good with a green faux finish!

I did a Tuscan look in my living room and pass through to kitchen. The walls are a golden yellow plaster with orangish glaze and look wonderful. I chose to do faux brick over the archway as well as the entire wall (very small side wall) sort of adjacent. All came out great and I get many compliments.
