How To Add Wall and Rug Decorations to a Room
Step 1: Apply glaze/paint mixture to the walls
Tape off the freshly painted trim. Clear glaze is mixed with Iridescent Bronze acrylic paint and rolled over the walls in sections.
Step 2: Add texture with steel wool
While the paint is wet, a rough grade of steel wool is pulled vertically through the glaze, creating striations in the glaze. Uses two hands to pull the steel wool through the paint, leaving a small strip of glaze on one side; it will overlap and blend with the next section of glaze.
Step 3: Paint the rug outside
The sisal rug is taken outside for painting and placed over a tarp. Sisal is a porous, absorbent material; it will absorb quite a bit of Weekend Getaway floor and patio paint and require ample drying time. Two coats of paint are rolled on the rug. Note: Expect possible variations in color saturation over the surface of the rug.
Step 4: Add freehand paint embellishments
When the paint is dry, paint random freehand paisley designs over the rug, using Mink and Mozart Blue.
