Kathleen's sister Mary Lou has a bright and colorful house that she is getting ready to sell. (Is there a familiar theme here?) There is a neat faux tile feature in her kitchen and in a bathroom that we think is really cool and may try to imitate back home on the kitchen hood.
Mary Lou explained how to do it with a square kitchen sponge. That's where the textured look comes from. You cut the sponges to the size you want then press each into separate paint pans, experiment a little, then press a sponge onto the wall, being careful to follow your guides and plan. What do you think?
