Wallpapering/Texturing

John was in charge of the walls, he bought a really nice flowery wallpaper for the living room, and a white an green kind of nature inspired one for Gregors Bedroom.
The living room needed to be primed before it could be wallpapered, so we had to paint on all the wallpaper paste a day earlier. the next day we wallpaper up the living room and gave it a brown wash to make it look a little aged and not so pristine. i think the overall effect has worked incredibly well.




For Gregors room, a black base coat was used. we then scattered dirt and sawdust coated in paint all over the walls. this gave an excellent mouldy effect.



after all this had dried, we then layered up the wallpaper and painty bits of blue tissue to create a heavy and effective texture. It also helps to convey the stuffiness and claustrophobia in that room. its all worked really really welll.
