Natural wall staining!

Woke up this morning determined to finally after a year and a half to do something about my ugly and uninspiring white walls.My big idea was to do a coffee/tea stain that is sponged onto the wall. It looked absolutey beautiful. That is until it wiped right off! Must be the type of paint underneath. So Im still staring at blank walls. I guess I will just have to break down and buy some paint. Those of you wanting to try the coffee stain dont be frightend off. My sister had great success doing this a few years ago. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more fruitful day. Blessings to all!
