Faux Painting

Does anyone have any recommendations for a faux finish painter?
Thank you.

 

what kind of finish are you doing? i've had some success with sponging and colorwashing....it looks great!

 

ok woopity, lets put that to the test. Do you have any pictures your could share? I am getting very interested myself and would love to see how this could look or work in certain applications. I would love to see a real world use of this technique... perhaps e-mail?

thanks

 

the color washing was in my old house---so i can't provide any pictures of that. the technique i used was to paint the wall a maroon color--and then brush the opaque glaze stuff on, starting in X's...and eventually spreading it across the whole wall. almost made the wall look like i had put maroon slate up. Looked good.
I can provide a picture of the sponging ON i did in our current bathroom. PM me your email and i'll be glad to pass along a picture. Basically..i rolled two coats of a light shade of blue (to cover up the hospital white the builder left me)..and then using a quart of a darker blue that gets mixed with a faux glaze---sponged on the dark color.

 

I highly recommend this compnay, Apples of Gold, in Leesburg/Potomac Station.
