Is it possible to faux finish over marble? We just moved into a 5-year-old home. Our decor is rustic with deep reds and browns,with leather furniture. The fireplace surround is gray/white carrera marble and it looks out of place. We cannot remove it to replace as the mantle will be destroyed and cost prohibits this. Thank you. |

We have recently purchase a home with hardi plank stucco siding. We do not like the way it looks and wanted to know if there is something we could apply over it to make it look like sutcco or plaster. Also, how hard is it to install? |

Hello. I've started painting with the "burnt orange" color wash technique. The walls look BRIGHT orange. It's aweful. What can I do to tone it down without turning it peach? It needs more burnt, and less orange. I think the soft pumkin base color was way too light and orange.... please help. thanks. |

I was thinking around $6.00 a piece. does that sound fair? |

Would like to stain our kitchen cupboards a deep cherry (currently a honey color). It appears that some of the clear finish is still in place, what do we need to do to prepare the cupboards, light sanding, a chemical wash? |

I live in a nice old character home which I am currently decorating. The only major problem is the kitchen which has the UGLIEST, faux-wood grain Formica cupboards which for one, take up too much room so there is no space for a table in the kitchen and two, I have been told by the landlord that they are not to be removed. Now, my challenge is to come up with a way to TEMPORARILY alter the appearance of these wretched things. I'm open to...... read more |

My plan is to trace the items with a marker or pencil onto the glass then adhere the gilding. Is this a good way to do it? What would I use, water size? Any kits available with tools? I want to have a variety of colors, reds, yellows, amber, oranges, and shades in betwe...... read more |

We live in a Colonial Cape Cod reproduction that's really a great looking house. We're changing the outside color scheme from linen white with dark green-blue trim, to a light taupe with a dark silver green trim. May not sound like much of a change, but it's very dramatic.

I read somewhere that one does not use the same brushes for watercolor as gauche. Why? They are both water mediums? |
