Vintage Walls

This old photo shows one of my vintage wall finishes.  I first painted, then glazed the walls to a rich brown waxed paper bag finish.  The next layer is a metallic old gold damask, with the final layer being an amber brown glaze to further age this vintage look.  I love working with all of these layers, each one revealing a new surprise, adding to the story a bit with each one...what fun!
