Parisian Apartment: The Walls A soft canopy is the result with the line between ceiling and walls disguised with muted green glaze. From "Fresh Coat" episode DFCT-306

Figure A

Daniel and Baird Connor begin transforming their cluttered master bedroom into a Parisian getaway by glazing the walls and ceiling in a soft muted green, rolling on the glaze and brushing it out vertically with wide brushes (figure A). This will create a soft canopy by disguising the line between the ceiling and the walls.

Then, for a whimsical touch, the Fresh Coat team lines the panels with an outline of gold detail. The effect? Lighthearted and fresh.
