I started this kitchen this week -

 

Client had painted 2 focal walls and wanted to soften the rest of the room.  It was approx 220 sf.    I suggested a Sandstone Finish-

Day 1,  taped and whiz rolled on  a layer of Sandstone, tinted with a hair of Dark Brown tint-  

 

Day 2 I glazed, whizzing on two colors -  Dark Brown Aquacreme and a custom mix of Dark Brown, Earth Brown and Rouge Royale.  Whizzed on the Dark Brown about 70% ,  chipped on the Red, about 15%,  then blended colors using my sooper dooper thick  4 inch chippy brushes (Bruno is coming over to check it out) –   

Blot out any heavy areas, then move on to the next section.   I like to go back and lightly sand the finish using a sand block – I wait until I’ve worked about 3 sections of wall, then I back up and sand those sections, starting with the oldest first.  This way, the glaze has set up, and the sandblock doesnt leave scratches.  If you sand too soon, you’ll have alot of scratch marks to chip out -

Got it all glazed except for this last wrap around -

Day 3 I worked a couple hours and finished up -

 

 

 Happy Client.  Happy Me!
