I have certainly noticed bare walls more and more lately.
I like the naturalness of it, the raw and honest feeling.
Honestly, one method is to strip the wallpaper and see what you find underneath. With a little polishing, this wall has great potential!
Or you can have your painter / finisher apply various paints or textures and see what you come up with.
Mix several colors of lime paint and apply.
Of course, the masters are John Saldino...
and Axel Vervoordt. These walls speak to me!
Have you incorporated bare walls into your decor? I would love to hear about them.

Yes, we have lot's of 'bare' walls, we are surrounded of them! Love the natural look!
ReplyDeleteBefore we renovated our living room years ago one wall looked nearly identical like the wall in your last image. It had several layers of wall paper on it and underneath these beautiful unevenly distressed colors appeared which we did not touched for about 10 years! Unfortunately it started crumbling, so, new plastering was required.
Best wishes for a sunny weekend, Ann

Hi Ann, I love John Saladino's wall finishes and of course his interior design philosophy. I mixed field straw into dry wall compound and trowelled onto my kitchen walls and then left them raw.
ReplyDeleteHello Annie,
ReplyDeleteI just received my bookends, they are gorgeous, thank you so much! Love the rosebud ornaments too! My husband got so excited to receive the package that forgot that he had the car running outside for about half an hour ha ha!
I will post pictures of the bookends on my blog tomorrow for studio sunday.
Looking at those walls, I discovered that painting technique by accident, don't ask me how, but it looks great, I will post about it on my blog later.
Thank you again for the prizes!
