The fun that went down!


That's right, fun! It's crazy! I transformed the wall behind our tv from a plain grey wall to a fun diamond pattern wall! It took me about 10 hours and two rolls of painters tape. I used a small bottle of folk art paint that cost me 1.99 at Michaels. I had a couple of spots that bled through the tape, but nothing a little touch up couldn't fix.

  1. Nice work! Would you do it again? I'm debating stripes in my laundry room but can't decide if I have the patience. :)

  2. Oh yea, I would definitely do it again. The only thing is, is that I chose to do it every night after work for about 3 days. If I would have had one day to do it, I would have gotten it done a lot quicker. This isn't the first, "stripped" project I've tackled. I also did our half bath.

  4. No tool just measurements and painters tape :) All the strips are a half inch think and are 7.25 inches apart.
