Faux Finishing FAQs

Which colors do you layer first when doing a Bellagio Faux finish?




I bought all my paints months ago and my project was put on hold. I lost my booklet that had the instructions and layering info in it. I am snowed in and have been for like 2 weeks now and haven’t been able to get to home depot to get another one and behr is so awesome that they don’t even have it on there website or are able to email anything like it to me. If anyone knows really how to do this I would really appreciate it, since I am really ready to paint. I just need to know if you layer the lighter colors first and then a little of the dark goes on top or vice versa. Also are you supposed to paint the entire room the base color and let it dry and then do the top textures or do you paint a 3 by 3 section of the base color and then layer?

New home, red couch, darker hardwood floors.suggestions on wall color, etc, please?




Ok so I just bought a house in austin. I’m set on getting this red couch from sofa mart (antelope). I’ve read thru some others who’ve had similar questions about wall colors and such with this color of couch. What I really would like to know is who’s pulled off a room like this. I mean the whole shibang from window accents to wall color to coffee table, etc. I’m getting to start from scratch, so I’m open to options. Most important is wall color. I’ve read a few suggestions ranging from tan, gray, blondish yellow, gold, purple, etc. I’d like to do something besides white, but I’m not sure where that would leave me for window treatments and then coffee table and end tables. Does anyone have specific paint numbers from sherwin-williams, behr, or where ever? I’m also thinking of some faux finishes. Suggestions? If you’ve got these what color did you go for on your window treatment and tables. I’m also thinking of including some bambo in a vase somewhere. Help please!
