Thanks everyone for your comments! I hope that you all know that if you're ever going through southeast Kansas that I DO have a guest room that's available to you!!!


Janet, my dining room is faux painted. I picked up this technique from a friend and it's so cheap and easy to do. Basically it's sponge painting except I used a plastic bag (like a Wal-mart sack---Make sure that you turn it inside out because the printing on the bag bleeds). I painted the wall my base color, which was cream, sponged on a dark color, then a lighter color, then my base color. I used a darker and lighter taupe but I've heard of people using two different colors. It's very easy, just make sure that you don't stay in one spot too long with one color! Oh, and after you dab the sack in the paint make sure you have some old newspapers or a piece of cardboard to dab off some of the excess paint.
