Hello all, I would be very happy to share my faux wall technique again if anyone is interested. Please email me at: gone.tothedogs AT yahoo.com and I will respond to you.
Nice to see so many people interested in the technique! The walls are finished now with color and dark grout. I'll post photos some other time.

Sandra,
It been two years, but would you mind sharing the instructions for the rock wall again? It's beautiful. I was playing around myself, and thought stucco compound might be a better choice. Has the joint compound held up? I was afraid it would chip easily. How did you apply the grout after? Thanks, rachael95

I am looking to transform a small class room at church into an adventure room with a cave look. I have been looking into fake rock walls and I would like to know if they ever wanted to remove this would it be possible? What damage would it put on the wall. How expensive is it, and how much time would it take to make a rock wall. Can it be made on a surface and bolted to the wall? Like burlap, or this wood? Can I get the recipe for this project? Thank you for your help. Melanie

The wall looks great. Was it very messy? How time consuming? Would you please send me the instructions via mail. I will pay for the postage.

Editor's Note: I don't think that she is a member anymore so will probably never see your address (so I removed it.)

Sandra, the rocks are fabulous! What paint techniques did you use to achieve the real rock look? How did you separate the "rocks" while adding joint compound...painter's tape? I am trying to do "limestone" in my wine cellar. You are incredibly talented! -Brandi (Texas)

I love your wall-You did an amazing job- I have been searching the internet to find some information on how to make a faux wall. Your wall looks exactly the way I imaged and you are using the same materials I was hoping to use. PLEASE email me information, directions and your secrets to make this masterpiece. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

here is another view of the wall unfinished. the rocks here are in three different 'stages'. I still haven't been able to work on this project due to other things and if anyone plans to tackle this project, take my advise: don't get ahead of yourself! Do a section at a time and don't do two entire walls like I did!!!
If anyone wants full instructions on how to do this just email me and I will send them to you.

We have been wanting to do something similar to our basement stairway and even over the old paneling in the basement/family room. Could you email me information or directions to do this? We have priced fake rock sheeting and it is way out of our range right now.
Thanks!

do you have a picture of a larger area of the wall? this looks fantastic!

thanks everyone for your nice comments. my husband and son are getting tired of looking at the unfinished walls and I don't blame them! I stopped working on it for Christmas and we have been working on other projects but I will continue on it one of these days.
I will certainly send you all a private email with instructions if you like. I don't mind at all and you all are very kind.

Sandra, you should go into interior design, but I think you said that you are going to school for dog training, right? I love this faux rock idea, I have been looking for something rustic to do with a room in my motel to give it a "lodge look" and I appreciate your sharing your ideas with all of us! Best wishes in the dog training career!
