In the master bath, I painted 2 palm trees in the corner next to the large tub.  Palm trees will be used to decorate throughout the model home since it is located at Palm Harbor Homes.

Tea stained faux finish I did on the walls of the showroom.  The walls were blonde then I added 3 applications of burnt umber glaze in a swirling motion with a seasponge...
