Step 8

After the paint has dried, it’s time to antique the walls. Just as we did with the ceiling, dip a rag into a dark color stain and blot off the excess. Gently rub the rag over the walls avoiding any specific direction. Alternate vertical, horizontal and circular movements so there aren’t any streaks in the antiquing. Leave the stain darker at the tops and corners and lighter in the middle of the walls. The stain will sit on top of the high spots of the “plaster”, giving a natural aged look. Rub the rag over the bricks as well.
