I have a somewhat japanese style bathroom that currently has white walls, but dark grey and black tile along with dark granite countertops. This is just what the space needs to add some drama and complete the space. Thank you for sharing this idea!

Just finished our dining area wall and oh boy all you need is time. Simple but for a one person job I’ll take awhile. We kept our wall pretty light came out amazing! Start with the darkest shade to your medium/lightest for finishing touches. Also would recommend doing the edges first cause that would be the part that took most of the time. No need to sand it down.

Thanks for this! I'm trying this out this coming weekend. Did you wait for the darkest coat to dry before applying the lighter layers? Thanks in advance.

That looks good but what do I seal it with so it does not leave dark powder on everything the brushes against it? I have 2 big dogs and Everytime their fur touches it dust comes off.

what kind of material does joint compound have to go on? Can it go on plywood?

Could I use this to fix cracked plaster ceiling ? Would it pull down the ceiling?

How would you seal this wall to make waterproof or repellent?

Really cool. ❤️ We did the same thing last week. 💪🏻

Love the finish. Would this be durable if I used it on a plywood bench?

[teresita]

Do you have to wait until the dark coat dries before putting medium and light over it?

Will this stick on painted walls? Thanks
