3 Ideas to transform your walls into stone

It's never been easier to have that stone wall in your home. In this video, I'll give you all the tips for transforming your walls into stone. Stay tuned to check out these 3 options and decorate your home. Let's get to the first idea. We're going to renovate this wall here, which is just plastered. So, first, we'll moisten it well so the mortar dries slowly to create our stones. We'll use gray AC2 mortar. Using a steel trowel, we should leave a layer 3-5mm thick so our stones are clearly visible. You don't need to make it very smooth, because now we'll use a piece of paper to create the texture. And look how simple it is. Just tap the wall like this, making the mortar stand out. Once it dries, I'll break off the edges of the texture with a trowel. Let's start marking. First, I'll divide the wall into 4 equal sections. Using a vertical ruler and a chisel, we'll mark them. For the second marking, I'll divide the wall into 3 sections and mark it horizontally with a ruler. Remember, the measurements are up to you, okay? Let's get painting. Here I have smart finish color paint, and we'll pigment it with a drop of oxide yellow pigment. This paint is highly recommended for outdoor areas, as it's waterproof. Using a high nap roller, we'll apply 2 coats of this color. Now we'll use smart resin to paint our stones. I'll use the oxide yellow pigment along with the brown pigment to create this color tone. Using the brush, we'll paint stone by stone. Try not to leave brush marks. The stones are already painted. Now I'll add a bit of black pigment to the remaining resin. Using the fine brush, I'll paint the trim. To finish, we'll add shine and waterproof it with another coat of pure smart resin. The smart resin will ensure waterproofing and make cleaning your wall much easier. And that's our first idea. Let's continue with the second project. We're going to transform this wall here. As you can see, it's pretty damaged. For today's project, we'll use a C1 mortar. Using a steel trowel, we'll apply a 3-5mm thick layer to the wall. I'm using a C1 because we're working indoors. If you're working outdoors, use a C2 mortar, okay? Mortar applied. Now for the texture. Using the steel trowel, I've been pulling the mortar and smoothing it like this. It's a very simple texture that looks very beautiful once finished. Texture done, now we wait for it to dry. Once dry, we'll make the markings. The first step is to mark vertically and horizontally to divide the wall into squares. I'll use a ruler and a screwdriver to mark. In the next step, we'll use a spirit level. And there's no secret. Just align the level and the plumb line and mark randomly. Use your creativity to create your own designs. Let's get painting. Here we'll apply a white primer with smart color finish waterproofing paint. I'll apply two coats to get a nice white finish. Now, using the same paint, I'll create a gray tone using a drop of black pigment. Using the foam roller, I'll paint very lightly, covering only the high points of the texture so the entire work is visible. Next, I'll finish painting a few stones. Now that I've done that, I'll add more pigment to create this shade of black. Using the roller, we'll lightly paint a few stones like this. It's up to you. To finish our work and make it waterproof, we'll use smart resin. The resin will make our work waterproof and give it that amazing shine, making it easier to clean later.

We're going to transform this wall here. It's got pre-damaged plaster. Before applying the mortar, we'll moisten it well. Here, I'll use C2 mortar. Using a steel trowel, we'll apply a 0.5cm thick layer. Right after applying it, we'll create the texture. I put a little mortar on the trowel and pull it to the side like this to create the texture. Now I wait for it to dry until the mortar starts to widen. This is the point to create our stones. I take a piece of wire and bend it like this. And now I'm going to mark the stones. I've been marking stone by stone, and there's no mystery, just use your creativity. Stone's created. Now let's wait for it to dry completely. Let's paint. First, we'll apply a primer. And here I'm using Smart Finish Color Paint. With a pigment, a drop of yellow oxide, I create this shade of color. First, I'll paint the corners with a brush, and for the rest, I'll use a high nap ruler. Primer applied. Now, let's pigment the Smart Resin to paint our stones. Here, I use the brown pigment along with the yellow oxide pigment. With a brush, we'll paint stone by stone. And then, with a damp cloth, I'll remove the excess to create this stunning effect. On the remaining resin, I'll apply black pigment to paint the frisos. Painting is very easy because the frisos are quite deep. Finally, two coats of pure Smart Resin to ensure our wall is completely sealed. And that's it for the three stone effect ideas. I'm sure one of them will look amazing in your home. So, that's it, folks. I hope you enjoyed the video. God bless you, and see you tomorrow with another video with tips. Thanks.
