Sponges work well for pointing
NEWARK, Del. - The same
type of sponge you use to wipe off
household surfaces can apply
beautiful color to your walls, says
Delaware extension home
economist Pat Wilson. Sponging is
an innovative and versatile
decorating technique that requires
two or more colors of paint. One is
used as a base coat, and the others
are sponged over it.
Sponging can improve the ap
pearance of any room in your
home, Wilson says. You can pull
together a living or dining room
that lacks focus by sponging one
wall with colors found in the carpet
or upholstery. Enhance these
rooms with colors that reflect
natural light by sponging an'
earthtone or natural shade onto the

wall with your other colors.
White sponged over a light blue
or yellow wall adds cheery color to
a bedroom or bathroom. Wood
trim, window frames, baseboards
and chair rail molding are also
perfect places to add accents with
a sponge, Wilson says.
Let your imagination run free in
decorating a child’s room. For
example, sponge a group of
geometric shapes on closet and
dresser drawers. Sponge a bright
rainbow above a window, or a few
white clouds over the bed.
Experiment with rough and
smooth sponges in a variety of
shapes. Practice your technique
and color combinations in an
unobtrusive area, such as behind a
piece of furniture. To create an
attractive sponged surface, follow
these steps:
Begin with a clean, dirt-free
surface. Fill all cracks and holes
with spackling compound or
patching plaster and sand smooth.
When painting over semigloss or
high gloss paint, first lightly sand
the surface to remove the gloss,
thus ensuring good paint adhesion.
Apply the base coat and allow it
to dry completely. If you are
painting over a previously un
painted surface, apply a primer
coat or extra coat of your un
dercoat to the walls.
Using the sponge of your choice,
gently dab the wall with the paint.
Press the sponge against the wall
in closely spaced, random angles.
To avoid drips, use small amounts
of paint. This will also allow you to
monitor the design as you go.
Remember, irregularities in the
design are what give your han
diwork the varied appearance you
want.
Wilson says touch-ups and
alterations can be made at any
time by reapplying additional
paint with a sponge.
