| One of my favorite rooms our home is the space that will soon be an office. My husband is a geologist, thus the fossils carved into the wall. I did this with a plaster finish then painted over top adding depth with varying colors. The faux stone ceiling hides a number of flaws in the stipple. |
| A 'Venetian plaster' effect can be accomplished at a much lower cost using regular drywall compound. Adding the pillars and archways gives the feeling of 'old Rome'. |
| Faux marble is a nice effect over an entire room or even just in a niche. |
