What do you want to know?

Do you know what colors you want to use? Using a glaze or just paint?

How large an area are you planning on doing. Are you ragging on or off?

I did our living room ( 18 x 26 ) with a mauve bisque base paint then rag rolled a pearl irriscent glaze. I LOVE it! IT's been 2 years and it's holding up even with 3 small kids in the house!
