After a bathroom wall repair, it is time for new colors.

I purchased a beautiful wallpaper border that looks like a stained glass panel. The ‘glass’ sections are shades of very light and medium/dark blue. I have purchased 3 shades of paint — light, medium and dark from the same color card, so they match well.

The bottom section of the wall will be the darkest shade. Above the wallpaper strip (at chair-rail height) I want to mimic the streaky, stained glass look.

Once I have painted it dark, how do I apply the two lighter shades? What tools should I use?

A sponge or dabbed-on look won’t work — the glass look is streaky.

I have always been a stay at home mom my kids are older now and I need to work to help with family finances. I have been painting for friends and neighbors I am an excellent painter and faux finisher So good that people are seeing my work and calling me not stop which is great But I never know what to charge My dad is a retired paint cotractor does not know the going rate I don’t want to waste anyone’s time by having someone come out and give me an estimate to get an ideaI wouldn’t want to be done that wayI get calls daily for faux finishing and glazing cabinets. I have a job to bid 18 cabinets that are already painted she just wants me to glaze them while they are still hanging which is ok She has money and will pay whatever I charge because I am in high demand I want to make good money great money but I want to be fair to people overheard that someone paid 65.00 an hour for faux please help with estimates on regular painting of trim and walls and faux Thank you so much.
