We love this project from ‘Houzz‘, but it didn’t have a tutorial with it. So we found for you from ‘Instructables‘, here is how to build an indoor stone wall… This one is not a veneer project, they used real stones! Great if you want a more rustic look. This tutorial could be adapted to create the look in the ‘Houzz’ project below!

Could you do the pebbles over existing bathroom tile? Or does it have to be removed?

I would think if you use the cement board like they did in the tutorial, you could go right over existing tile. But remember, you will have raised the level of the floor by placing it on top of existing flooring. Keep this in mind for clearance of doors, etc… Also, you will need to be able to screw the cement board down to the subfloor. Good luck!
Can it be applied to a painted cement wall or does it have to be drywalled first? I was thinking this would be awesome for my basement. It is unfinished.
