First of all, I think it is hilarious that this room is called a butler’s pantry…. where is the butler that is supposed to come with it?!
I painted every wall in the house except for the bedrooms. I wanted an aged, distressed plaster effect. I had to work when my 2-year-old was napping so the ladder and paint literally stayed out for a month! It probably took me about 50 hours. I’m thinking I need some art on the walls……
Below is the foyer adjacent to the butler’s pantry. It was the first room I started on. The weather vane is from my childhood home….. when my parents sold our old house I took it with me. I still need to make a wood base for the metal stand to rest on.
Closeup of the faux finishing……
Now that I’ve posted photos I’ll have to come up with a tutorial on how to do it!

Hey, Ashley! You won the All detergent. Send me your address at my email blessedw4@gmail.com and I'll get the coupon right out to you. Come back and visit my blog sometime. I am enjoying your blog so much. I'm glad I found you even though it was 2am. I just couldn't quit going through your archives.
This is a gorgeous faux finish.
But where is the butler? I mean, what's up with that?
Thanks for your submissions to Monday Makeovers. Check back tomorrow to see if either of your projects have made it to the final voting round.
Beautiful walls! I like the wall cutout- reminds me of some of the styles in California. I don't see stuff like that where I live very often.
Great job!
Wow. You did a great job! Looks like an expensive professional one.
I came across the pictures of your faux painting of your butlers pantry. Very pretty! Is it possible to tell me the colors you used? Did you use a base color and then go over with a color mixed with a glaze? Did you rag on and wipe off?
I like the colors you used because its more in the beige tones and not yellow. Any help would be great!!
Thanks!!
