Hey there! I'm so excited to share a fun project with you all that Mark and I just completed. It took a little while to get this done and we worked on it hours here and there at a time, so I'd say we spent at least 8 hours total getting this wall complete, but it was SO worth the effort. It took almost a month to get it all done. We are so excited that our downstairs patio got a facelift with Airstone faux stones. Airstone is a faux stone product made out of 70% recycled wine bottles. How cool is that for recycling?! I love that they use recycled products to make their faux stones. The stones are very textured and chunky with 4 different color variations for endless patterns and ways to put them together. You're the artist and whatever you come up with, it will more than likely look great. You really can't mess this up! Just be sure and mix your colors and textures up a lot and you've got a really nice look. Here's a link to Airstone at Lowes and you can see it's sold in boxes of 8 s.f. so I wanted to pass that on for cost estimation. We used about 7 boxes on our wall. And keep reading to the bottom! Mark is adding his own comments on this project below!
