| Is Faux painting still a good idea to do. I know it has been popular for quite some time. I don't want to date our house if we use this technique but I love it.
Our home is a french chateau style. I am thinking of doing this in our dining room for starters. http://www.sherwin-williams.com/do_it_yourself/faux_finishing/old_worl d_impressions/smooth_fresco/index.jsp |

| I'd go slowly....maybe a wall or two first!! It varies SO much by region/city, as to what's popular...OR NOT...! Overall, moderation is KEY for faux!!! Faron |

| It won't look "dated" if it's in a style of house where you expect it, and it blends with the style of furniture and flooring. Blatant "I'm FAUX!" effects date more quickly than subtle shading. |
