I would like to do a faux rock or stone technique on my bathroom wall, either a slate look or actual rock look. Does anyone know where I can get how to info on this technique? TIA

It may be that panels of cultured stone as shown in this website may be what you want.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. The site is interesting, but what I am really looking for is how to use concrete to create the look of slate or stone. I have heard that the concrete can be 'shaped' and then stained to look like stone. Also, what type of waterproofing would be needed as it would be in a bathroom.
