My Faux Limestone Wall Treatment Project
In between posts of interiors, vignettes, gardens, and other images that I locate a laugh and whimsical, I on occasion proportion images of my own designs for the homes of diverse customers.
Recently I decided to do a fake limestone remedy at the hall walls of my own home. The house has 12 foot ceilings so I knew it was going to be a "venture" and one I would in no way be able to take with me. Since we can sincerely be right here for some time longer, I determined to decide to the venture.
This residence become built round 1900 according to my acquaintances. It is in a cute region with The Historic Irvine McDowell House and park within walking distance up the road, and the Million Park in the back of. Also on the stop of the street is the Watson estate built in the mid 1800's. The property is empty now, however is maintained with a fund installation by Emma Watson earlier than her demise. It has beautiful walled English gardens within the returned whole with antique roses, peonies wisteria that has overtaken an old o.K.Tree, aged boxwoods, mazes, fish pond, statuary and vintage iron benches. The gardens are antique and nearly overgrown. My son grew up gambling in what he thought became his very own "castle" garden.
Anyway again to the subject of the post......My faux portray undertaking.
Tim helped me with taping off the grid. It was horrible looking with all the blue painter's tape marking the blocks. I really appreciate him and the fact that he let's me do some pretty crazy things around the house. I know he gets tired of hearing me say "just trust me".
I desire you may see this french tapestry. It is lovely in person and is hanging on a splendid rod that I omitted to get a image of. I started out to take every other one for this publish but have no excuse other than laziness for not doing so
Here is a closer look at the wall and some of the needlepoint I do. It's my therapy!! Unfortunately I don't see as well as I use to so don't do as much. None of you ladies have that problem do you??

Anyway right here is the finished product. Is it perfect? No. But I am proud of it and satisfied I did it. I will hate to go away it if we leave this antique residence. I would love to listen from any of you who have achieved a similar assignment!
