The room gets a big finish with a faux finish. A base coat of yellow paint prepares the wall for a coppery-orange, textured faux finish. The finish is dabbed on and rolled off using a rag and is done rather quickly to keep the application even over a large area. The detailed headboard is the focal point in the room and sets the stage for this exotic retreat.
