Ahhh I'm lovin it!

Remember this room? It's our gameroom....or who am I kidding, it's practically our home in one room. It's a fabulous room with a kitchenette, bathroom, pool table, office, treadmill, fireplace, and all accessible to the patio! We hardly EVER leave this room unless we are sleeping. What sucks about this room??? THAT fake paneling!



Solved that problem. I textured over the panels!!! YEAH all 600sq ft. Believe me I was kicking myself after day 3 and my 4th tub of joint compound.



Do ya see the funky colored walls? After the texture, Amber Morrison herself, came over to show me how to glaze them. She is a genius in the home department! (www.blakeandambermorrison.blogspot.com)


She picked out a glazing color called Bronze Blonde or Blonde Bronze or something to that effect.



Then you mix it with this can of "'spirits". I got a kick out this.




Delicious! Then you go to town on the walls with an old T-shirt!





What do ya think?!?!? I'm in love!






Before.......

After............

It looks SOOO much better!! I can't believe you got it done so fast! How did you do the texturing? Just slap it on and spread it around?

I wish that I had your get up and go. Seriously, when the market is slow, you could totally sell your services...uh, home decorating services, that is. Get your minds out of the gutter people!
