Fun Faux Finishing

Many people want to do their own fun faux finishing or create a mural in their home.  But they don't know the simple ways to create and make them last.  So here's today's tasteful tip:

"If you're planning a mural or faux finish, the most important part isn't the painting - it's prepping your surface!  The first step is to clean your wall with soap, and water.  This will help make your paint adhere more completely and will make your creation last longer.  The next step is to do any necessary spackling and priming.  Once the wall dries, make sure to use a cloth that won't leave fiber residue behind.  Then you'll be all set to create your masterpiece!  Happy painting!"
