Updated dining room walls with paint
Our dining room had no windows, and has always been a bland, uninspiring space. I decided to work with its limitations and painted a cloud fresco wall and the other wall a dark charcoal. New light shade from Bunnings and it’s a moody, interesting space now.

Wow @jemma11,
Your paint job looks like something out of a high-end magazine! What technique did you use to create the cloud look?

Thanks Katie!
I did a base coat in Navy paint, then when dry sponged and blended other colours over the navy. Then did another coat of sponged clouds once dry to build up the paint (especially over the whiter areas).
