The walls in this 2nd floor addition to a 1950 ranch style home in west end of the Houston Heights started with a heavy texture and gloss paint. The project was an 18′ wide accent wall in a master bedroom.
I skim-floated to smooth the wall, and it took a full day of multiple fans blowing at high speed, hitting areas with the heat gun, and alternating between cold air-conditioning and warm forced-air heat to get them to dry.
The third photo shows how they looked after sanding and priming.
The homeowners have a real eclectic taste in decorating, with lots of furnishings and accessories that are vintage, worn, quirky, repurposed, colorful, and the like. I love this medallion pattern because it goes with the home’s aesthetic… and just look at how it matches the bedspread!
Keeping the medallions straight at the top of the wall took some tweaking, because the walls were not plumb, nor was the crown molding level. In the end it looks great.
The wallpaper is a non-woven material and a paste-the-wall installation. The seams were positively invisible. The paper is by A Street Prints, by Brewster, and came from the U.K. It was bought at below retail price from Dorota Hartwig at Southwestern Paint on Bissonnet near Kirby.
