I bought a small trunk-like box at Waccamaw mainly because I loved the technique used to finish it. It was probably imported and I would love to know how to duplicate the finish, but I cannot figure it out. It has a decoupaged print that is crackled and split in places on top and with darkened cracks (some are light colored) to look aged and is matte finished.

I hired a contractor to install insulation and drywall in my basement. This is the first time I have ever experienced this technique his men are doing. They installed metal framing instead of wood because he said for safety reasons if we should have a fire in the house the metal wouldn't catch fire so easily.

What would be the best way to re-stain the interior of a house? The trim, cabinets and doors in this house are all stained with a dark stain (maybe walnut stain) and I would like to re-stain everything with a light oak stain to try to bighted up the place. Is it cheaper to re-stain everything or buy new? What are the techniques and best products use to strip old stain? Or what would you recommend? Thanks, Jeremiah |

I just finished leafing 3 ceilings with your aluminum leaf patent rolls. The client had me apply the leaf in slightly staggered and broken patterns, not filling in the holidays to look a little more 'organic' and worn.

Hi all -- I am getting ready to try my hand at some painting and I am also going to try the faux finish of sponging. I have the main room color GOLD, I would love some suggestions for the trim, ceiling and fabrics. I am thinking rust, or burgandy by any other suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance. |
