Building Romance -Paint, Paper & Polish

On this episode of Building Romance, explore decorative painting techniques — stencils, sponging, even peel-and-stick wall paper — and try them out on your own practice wall section. Whether you rent or own, these are real skills you can bring home. Basics about paint sheen, tools, prep and technique will be covered!
