If you have stone walls in your home, then you know just how beautiful they can be. Chances are you also know just how much of a drain on your pocket book they can be as well. Stone walls have a tendency to conduct heat very effectively, which means that they get really cold during the winter, though they are quite comfortable during the summer months. However, if you are looking to create the look of stone walls, without actually installing any, then you need to consider going faux. Painting faux stone walls is possible, if you simply know what to do.

Or, take some nice stones, and have them cut in 1/2. (You can do this yourself, but there are many places that will do this for you.)
Make sure the wall you plan to use can support the weight, and is properly insulated.
Go the the hardware store. Tell then what you plan to do, and they will sell you an almost instant drying adhesive (in a tube) that is much like caulking.
Attach the stone halves to the wall, flat side in, of course. leave about a 1/2 inch gap around each stone.
You can buy pre-made plaster or concrete in a bucket, or make your own. Put this
into the gap spaces you left.
Presto!
