Mrs. Pedroch has been
introduced to me by her husband Dale
who couldn't help but to write me and send photos of her exquisite work in
their powder room. Dale obviously is impressed and they both were
surprised at the rave reviews they got from friends and family.
Just Jump in and do it.....that's the Pedroch way! Yes, the work was
painstaking, but the results were well worth it.
Two shapes of stone compliment one another on adjacent walls. Large
staggered stone on the sink wall and diamond repeats on the side wall.
Though the technique of faux painting the stones appears similar, look at
how they came out so differently.
She was VERY smart to make some of the stones lighter and some darker
in color and with different, yet coordinating tones of color. This technique
creates a highly "realistic" stone wall.
How can YOU create stones on your wall?
If you choose not to use a stencil design, very thin tape is available
at your local auto detail shop as well as some wallpaper and paint stores.
Create your stone design and mark the lines lightly with pencil, use
the tape on your lines to create "grout" lines. Pre-paint your wall the
color that you would wish your grout to be.
With the stones all laid out and taped off, now sponge or marble as
you choose. Again, seeing that some stones are different colors. Vary your
technique on each stone to give a bit more realism.
The Pedroch's have other projects to show you that will be coming
soon! Congratulations on a job well done! |
