However, I ignored his exhaustion this weekend, handed the boys over and retreated to the upstairs playroom. I ended up doing the Ralph Lauren denim faux finish. I wasn’t sure about it because our walls are pretty heavily textured; and although it didn’t turn out exactly like the pages in their brochures, I kind of like it. It gives the room an antiqued casual look. I think once we get the book cases cut out, the window treatments installed and some furniture and a rug put in, my husband will end up liking it too.
The only complaints I have regarding the denim technique are that it is rather time consuming (not 10 month consuming but it does take at least 3 days) and when I peeled the tape off the ceiling, I found that the paint had bled under the tape (that is not really the techniques fault but rather the fault of the technique being done on textured walls). So now I have to paint the ceilings…something I had wanted to put off for a while. Maybe in another ten months I will report I have finished painting the ceiling. At this rate this house is never going to get done.
