Master Floor Faux Painting

During a refit, the master was redesigned. The open grain floor was not being replaced.

What is open grain? Open grain refers to wood made from species where the pores (the tiny vessels that transported water and nutrients in the living tree) are relatively large and distinct, leaving a visible, sometimes textured pattern on the surface. These pores are essentially tiny, hollow tubes that, when cut and exposed, create the “open” appearance.

After installation of new columns and cabinetry, there was an area on the floor that needed fauxing. When faux painting, we had to be careful not to fill the open grain in with paint.
