When life gives you lemons … wait, maybe this isn’t an appropriate way to start a bathroom post. What I mean is, Laura had a lemon tree mural. In her bathroom. She had also painstakingly applied a plastered faux stone treatment to the wall, and she loved it all to pieces. Until one day she didn’t.
Well, problem is, you can’t just paint over a plastered “stone” wall. So, she decided to work with it, and simply colorwashed it with white and gray to lighten up the look. She reports that it actually looks even more authentic now! More to see on her blog Top This, Top That.
