There are many ways you can create texture in your wall without having to apply anything more than paint. It is in how you apply the paint that will create the dimensional effects that can not only give a room a totally new character but also accent your Amish Furniture beautifully. One way to create subtle stripes/fine lines making your walls look like they are draped in silk rather than painted is by running a pad of steel wool softly over an iridescent glaze. Begin at the top and softly pull the steel wool pad down to the base.
Want your walls to look like they are covered with raw linen? This is as simple as using a paintbrush and glaze. Simply apply a thin layer of tinted glaze and drag a dry brush through the glaze pressing down to use the full length of the bristles. Allow it to dry and then reapply a second layer only this time drag the brush in a perpendicular direction.
There are many textured rollers out on the market now that will give your walls a variety of effects. As well, there are many “tools” you may already have in your home that can add a creative flare to any room’s paint job such as combs, sponges, rags, etc. Never be afraid to play around a little to achieve new looks. If you are not comfortable, get yourself a large cardboard box and experiment with different techniques! You might be surprised by the talent you didn’t know you had!

We received a good set of china from my parents when we got married 9 years ago. We've even used it several times over the years. But, it's still packed in the box as we have no where to store it. That's about to change. We just moved into a new house that has a fairly large dining room. I'm going to buy her a hutch for our 10th anniversary. It's still a couple of months off but I want the china in the hutch before we celebrate. Thanks for making this so easy.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma had a hutch in her dining room and I always thought that I would have one too. I'm nearly 40 and I still don't have one. I do need one and I really like the West Lake Hutch. Grandma's didn't have a light in it, but I'm sure that's only because back then they didn't make them that way.
ReplyDeleteI have a small hutch but it doesn't look as good as these. It also doesn't have any lights in it. I'm wondering if I could sell mine so I could buy a new one? It's in decent enough shape although it's pretty old. I doubt it would qualify as an antique, but it's a good part of the way there. I'd trade antique for Amish built any day of the week, especially for a piece of furniture as easy on the eyes as the West Lake Hutch.
ReplyDeleteMy old hutch is, well, old. I think it's time to replace it and I've just fallen in love with the West Lake Hutch. The old one never had lighting and I really like that feature. I want people to see and appreciate the fine china that I will be storing there.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of trying new paint techniques on a piece of cardboard is a great idea. There are a few things I would like to try and I don't want to go right to the wall in case I don't like it, or can't achieve the effect I'm after.
