Another home I faux finished like it was nobody’s business. The home improvement store’s paint department supplied a number of Oops Paints. I watched many DIY shows and the ideas just flowed. It was an improvement from our first home attempt(at least my husband said so). It was an adventure of color texture, to say the least.
