Um…Okaaayy. I’ve never heard of this before…but… none the less… I got the question.
A newsletter subscriber wrote in with this question:
“Could you give instructions on how to stain a wall that has a knock down texture on it. I saw on TV that you could stain them with coffee. To me that would be easier than painting. Thanks, Shelly”
First…. I wouldn’t paint a wall with coffee. It isn’t permanent and your room will smell of coffee for a long while. Now… I love coffee, and I wouldn’t mind a room that smelled like coffee, but I would like to choose when I want that smell. I might not want it all the time.
Second… A wall covered with coffee will wash off, unless the base coat paint is a FLAT finish. You all know… I never use flat paint for anything unless I have to.
That all said… you should read the article I wrote about painting heavily textured walls .
Have Fun… and remember…it’s just paint.
