Faux Marble baseboards. My friend Ian in Greensboro, Alabama, paid an artist ( one of the few who still know how to achieve this look ) to paint them in his antebellum in town. I have a book on several such techniques, and think, with a bit of practice, anyone with some artistic skill could do it. Now, sponge painting requires a bit more of the gifted. The pic is from the lovely home called Swamp Lawn in Oak Hill, North Carolina. The home is currently for sale.
Many, many, years ago, I played around doing faux finishes...but nothing remotely like this. This, truly, is a work of art. ~Robin~
