PAINTED AGATE AND MARBLING TECHNIQUES

We've all been on board with the agate trend for awhile now and personally I'm still not done with it. Whether an urban space or a beach bungalow, the swirls and dips in the movement of agate creates this natural texture fit for any interior space. Creating the texture in calming neutrals like Bridget Beari did for the 2012 Richmond Showhouse below, keeps it interesting without being over the top. Not looking to paint an entire space in swirls? Try DIYing a small table like Danicka Herrick of Gordgeous Shiny Things Blog, which adds a giant impact without the commitment.
