Parade of Homes project - Oct 3rd, 06, 08:34 AM

We're doing this project for our Home Builders Association. The house nearly 100% donated and proceeds from the sale will go to benefit local charities. Should get us some awesome exposure as it is in our Parade of Homes for the next two weeks.

Here is a before shot and a shot of the pre-colored overlay. I'll post the final colored and sealed pic this afternoon (I don't know why my second picture has that blue tint )

Nice job Celeste! I bet it was nice to have a color palette right there on the wall to work off of. I don't know, that might make it hard to match.
Bring on the color!!

The stones were both inspirational and intimidating - it was a fun project (thank goodness since it was a freebie!) This pic is when the sealer was still a little glossy - I'll get better pics in the morning when I get finished on the one we were texturing until 11:30 tonight! It's been a profitable 2 days, even with the donated one - lined up at least more two jobs before 1:00 Parade of Homes starts Friday - hopefully the phone will get to dingalinging!

Celeste,
That is wonderful stuff. Is there a thread that describes the process you use to get that effect? I have an entranceway at my house that is just ugly concrete and would love to do something like that.


Cheers,
Keth
