SPONGED FINISHES: Consistent but never uniform

These finishes are achieved using natural sea sponges to layer color over a base coat of paint. Whether it's one or two colors applied over the base coat or a dozen or more, the possibilities are limited only by the imagination.

(NOTE: Because sponge is a natural product, the characteristics of each specimen can vary greatly. The beauty of working with natural products is that there may be consistency, but never uniformity, creating a finish entirely unique to your home.)

 An off-white base sets the stage for three varieties of blue to create a timeless finish. (This finish was inspired by a late-1940s
 wallpaper specimen that first appeared to be hand-painted.)
