I loved the way Linda faux-painted the walls in Sensible Chic episode #110 “European Country Living Room”. Can you tell me the method and colors she used?
All the painting and the finishing of the cabinets in that house were done by an artist who used many layers of paint and glaze to create the old-world look. The walls were painted pale yellow and then glazed with Ochre. The yellow paint was imported and custom mixed on site, so we can’t give you a manufacturer or color number, but you can pick one of the many that are available. You should be able to buy Ochre pigment at an art supply store. Get a bucket of water and a sponge, get the sponge wet, squeeze out half the water, put a dab of the pigment on the sponge, and work it into the sponge by squeezing it. Then run the sponge over the walls to glaze them with the diluted pigment. Practice on a large piece of cardboard first.
