Yes, Virginia, Faux Finishes DO Have a Pattern Match

Whoops … It looks like the original installer (most likely the homeowner) didn’t realize there was a pattern match on this faux marble wallpaper pattern. Either that, or he failed to buy enough paper, so didn’t have enough “waste” to allow him to match the pattern.

He also failed to smooth the wall before hanging the paper, leaving little bumps showing underneath, and providing the potential for seams to gap. Which they were.

The second photo is how the room looked when I finished hanging the new paper – also a faux finish. But I took the time to match the pattern. 🙂
