I have been helping to remodel a house that my dads real estate investment company has purchased and is preparing for rental. I am in charge of painting. No big deal, I can handle that. One problem though. The texture in one of the bathrooms was horrible. Not just a little horrible but really, really bad. The walls were pitted in some places and so someone had taken a spray texture (the little repair kit kind) and sprayed the entire wall. It looked horrible.
Before I moved my bestie helped me texture a bathroom at my house in Utah. She made it look easy. Like a lighter texture Venetian type. Here are some pics post paint. It is the teal painted pics. We are adding breadboard on the bottom half thus the undonedness if the pics.
So anyways, I have been trying to figure out what do to with the walls, trying to get someone else to texture. I didn't think my dad would like the Venetian type - so I looked up texturing online and found a video on a knockdown technique using a plastic bag to help texture. I decided to give it a try. All I could do was try! Anything would look better than what was there!
So I gathered supplies, went to the house and just did it! All by myself! It was an experience for sure but I did it and it even looks decent. Check it out! We are painting the walls gray to go with the retro yellow tile. It is going to be so cute! More pics to come. We are also refinishing the original terrazo floors to keep with the vintage retro look. This house is going to be so cute!
