DIY FAUX CONCRETE WALL with Saltwash + Chalk Paint

[@susansylvia2833]

I've had an idea for several years of what I wanted for my bedroom walls, and you've just shown me how to do it! Thanks so much--now I can start at last!

[@natalieelisabeth5767]

Beautiful result! I'm literally in the middle of recreating your look on one of the walls in my powder room! Thanks for all the useful tips and tricks, your video was great! Cant wait go through some of your other videos👏

[@rneustel388]

This wall is purely stunning!! I just loved the close-up photos showing the texture and paint. Thanks so much for sharing this technique, and all your tips are priceless. I just found your channel today, and I’ve now watched all your videos but two, so please share more content. You’re such an excellent instructor, and I’m really interested in the content you plan on specializing in.

[@janinetapp6482]

If your going to use large amounts of salt wash better to make your own as it’s expensive to buy! Half plaster of Paris to half any texture of salt you like to get the affect your after 👍🏼

[@darlal2698]

You have done quite possibly the best technique that I have seen on KZbin as of now. AMAZING AND GORGEOUS!

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Darla, you’ve just put a smile on my face. High praise indeed and I’m blushing 😊. Thank you. J

[@kt_85]

Agree!

[@GilliMarieMoody]

OMGEE!!!! That looks FABulous😍!!!!! Thank you so much for showing me this🥰. Cheers. P.S. Did you add a sealant afterwards. Just curious, thanks.

[@natalieelisabeth5767]

Absolutely stunning work! Great video!

[@marisolreyes98]

OMG perfect to me..... You just gave me idea to go outside and do something like this to a garden fence I have outside.... You are a wonderful women, keep going 👍🏻

[@JuliaKajtazi]

That’s so kind, Marisol. Thank you! Jx

[@skh2579]

I’m so glad you are back your content is so informative

[@JuliaKajtazi]

sk halim thank you! Appreciate that. J x

[@wildfire294]

Beautiful. Been wanting to do this. I already have texture in the two bathrooms. So now I'll try the paint.

[@karlap.2071]

I'm halfway through the video, I can't wait to see the results. I can tell it's going to come out great!

[@efhfejhfjskfnsdkfnweakhrcw]

So happy to find your channel! Loved this technique ❤️ Thank you for sharing.

[@yvetteclayton3773]

Hi Julia, great tutorial your a very skilled lady BIG thumbs as always xx

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Thank you. J x

[@caseycanty2815]

Hi Julia, can I use any paint for this?? I want to give this ‘concrete’ effect to an entire wooden dining table. I’m assuming I need to sand it down but do I need to aswell? & will this crack? Please reply, Thankyou ❤️

[@bgaspari8783]

Could you substitute baking soda for the saltwash?

[@chattykathie7129]

I’ve never heard of this product. My daughter gassed lime wash. We use to use drywall compound to create texture, I wonder if that would give the same look, you could put some fine sand or salt in it

[@londonrice9564]

You are so very PRECIOUS! thank you so much for sharing your amazing work!!!!

[@meenakshirazdan7859]

Awesome tutorial, thanks a bunch. Julia is saltwash plaster of Paris or putty?

[@thebartendingtrader9887]

This looks amazing! Do you know if I can use it on regular dry walls? And will it come off?

[@howlingwaters2741]

I'm wanting to do a small interior accent wall which looks like Tabby( a mix of concrete, sand, crushed oyster shells and seashells, used in old coastal homes in the Southern U.S. and probably elsewhere!) This looks like a beautiful foundation. I'm a bit inland and may see if I can get a good deal on some shells from a local Oyster Bar.

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Wow, that sounds amazing! J x

[@clarisarakosart3496]

Hi Julia, where can we buy this in the UK? Im in London but cant find it… Tks in advance, great tutorial!

[@christinaconstantine3101]

Loving this wall painting technique! Can it be done using vinyl matt leftovers and the mesh tool, or must it be chalk paint? (I believe chalk paint doesn't wear so well.)

[@CP-nf9my]

Amazing how the blue works and that linen color is gorgeous! Thank you!

[@sheripalmer3192]

Beautiful and such a well done tutorial. Thank you for sharing with all of us. 😊

[@sr76028]

Bravo!!! Excellent video thank you so much!! Very helpful

[@JuliaKajtazi]

You are very welcome. J x

[@Martbez1]

Thanks a million for this tutorial! It's stunning! I'm definitely going to try my hand to this!

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Martie Bezuidenhout I’m so pleased you enjoyed it and are going to give it a try! J x

[@mstracitrent]

Great tutorial! I love it!

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Traci I’m so pleased you enjoyed it! J x

[@wh0tube]

Would talcum powder work? I know salt should be cheaper, but you can’t usually get it that fine.

[@mstexasg6243]

Hi Julia...this is a great idea. I was wondering though, should you seal it with something? is there an issue of it brushing off on your clothes?

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Hi, I’m glad you approve 😍. I didn’t seal it as in my studio and it doesn’t rub onto clothes but you could clear wax some areas to give it a polished look or use a dead flat topcoat. J

[@ElliePerezFitness]

I loved this video. Could I use Salt Wash with paint on a ceramic vase? What about a glass vase?

[@jasonholmes2975]

How difficult would it be to remove is what I'm wondering, I want to do it but at the same time eventually this house will be getting sold and worry about how problematic it could be to remove, would putting paper on the wall first be an advantage?

[@fd3471]

Have you ever thought of using an old standmixer to mix your paint and such for products? Just for time saving & for a right good mix through. Your stuff is so beautiful

[@JuliaKajtazi]

That’s a great idea. Thank you! J x

[@joyariege7912]

Hi there, Does the wall need to be white, or can it be any color? Also do you need to prime in with anything first? I am wondering if I can just do this techinique over a purple painted wall. Thanks for the video!

[@katrolinka89]

Thank you so much!

[@MrJeronimo94]

this looks great, i‘m gonna try this on a huge canvas 😄

[@adrianagm3841]

Is salt wash 👉 compound?

[@flan6]

Wow that’s gorgeous!!!!

[@kt_85]

hi j ! What do you use to apply the colours after the brush

[@ookeanofficial393]

Looks amazing😍great job👍😊

[@AccentLighting]

Do you have to use emulsion paint with the saltwash?

[@samiraalotaibi2418]

I have a question what is the difference between this painting method and Microcement?

[@MJHFTBN]

What’s the brand, type and name of the paint you used that was mixed with the saltwash (not the chalk paints). Thanks

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Hi there. They were left over Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion and Little Greene (I think it’s called Intelligent Matt). They are expensive so for this technique just use whatever you have or buy cheap. Hope that helps. J

[@MJHFTBN]

@@JuliaKajtazi Thanks for the info, I see! So that means I could buy any kind of paint that you find at the hardware store, as long as it is emulsion and has a greyish color like you had?

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Absolutely! J

[@MJHFTBN]

@@JuliaKajtazi thanks a lot, I have many ideas I want to work on! Have you ever used rustoleum chalk paint?

[@yvonnemcdonnell4614]

Hi Julia, where did you get the colour meshing tool from? I cant find it anywhere! Great looking wall!

[@paintedannie]

it's commonly called a "foam pad with block" applicator or a "lambskin pad with block" depending on what texture you want. you can find it at Home Depot in the US.

[@samiraalotaibi2418]

I love it a really an awesome job

[@sophi1964]

The wall is stunning!

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Nola Sidders thank you. Pleased you like it! J x

[@elisestrydom1081]

Thank you for this video. You nailed it!👌

[@JuliaKajtazi]

[@moiselia]

[@aimeelawrence-bespokefurni575]

Hi. Please can you tell me where in the UK I can buy a huge tin of salt wash texture?

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Hi Aimee, I get mine from the lovely Sarah at The Bricktree Gallery - www.bricktree-gallery.co.uk/Saltwash-c56310061. J x

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Glad you enjoyed it! Jx

[@LisaJones-vl5dd]

Was it mixed into chalk paint or latex paint?

[@JuliaKajtazi]

Hi Lisa it was latex. Chalk paint was used when colour meshing over the top. J x

[@HeidiMiddendorp]

How big is your wall and how many paint and saltwash did you use for the first layer?

[@JuliaKajtazi]

The wall is approx 1.5 metres wide and high. Paint used was about 2 litres and one and a half large tubs of Saltwash. Hope that helps! J x

[@HeidiMiddendorp]

Yes, thank you so much!
