Glitter on Walls

I have a very dark bedroom. I am having white paneling put up in it. Do you think or know if the spray glitter (not a lot) on the walls will stay there? What I mean, in time, will the glitter fall off? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Georgie

Hey Georgie!
That sounds like such a great idea, I may have to try it myself some day! I don't think I would go with the craft store spray-on kind. It is very running and will probably leave streaks on your lovely white paneling. Can you say cheesy looking? don't go there. You could try spraying it from a distance but I don't think the effect will last too long. And it stinks really bad.

I would go with a roll on kind like this:


I'm not sure how this will work on white paneling, but this is my favorite sparkle product for walls:

It's made by the gorgeous Annie Sloan from Oxford, England. Here is some info from her about her exclusive glitter paint:
"A varnish like paint which spreads a galaxy of tiny glittering stars. Use as a glaze to enliven dull, difficult areas. It lends a sense of glamour, flirtation or fun.
- Use it in the dining room for a deep, rich effect
- Use it in a child's room to create a feeling of wonder
- Use it in a bathroom, it can reflect the glitter of water.
For the strongest glittery result use it over a strong colour: Dragonfly Green over Cairo Green; Electric Blue over Iris Blue; Fireworks Red over Plum, Cranberry or Pacific Blue."


I want some! $40. per litre, or $6.25 per 100 ml.
