One day soon we will finish a project ...

Before Christmas we were working on a faux brick wall, I just need to add some finishing touches to it.  Problem was, I did not have a clear vision of what needed to be done to finish it because I wasn't liking the wall.  Here is the progress ....

Here is the burgundy wall before we did anything

 Once painted the wall reminded me of a computer card (Hollerith)
See what I mean ...
Here is a preview of a much lighter wall, with more of a stone feel, I am liking this so much more!
I will post more pics when it's complete

Perfect... love the toned down look. You are right it does look more like stone. Great job and a lot of work but so worth it in the end.

Have a great week...

Hugs, Deb

too funny about the computer punch card, bet many would not recognise what they are now

looks like a lot of work, but well worth it!

Wow nice transformation! That must have been a tough job but it looks really really nice. So you're saying that you don't like the result and want it to look more like the picture?
