Remember about 11 years ago, when I showed you how to Paint the Perfect Wall Stripes?
Yeah, well… I gave a little sneak peak of what I did, but I never actually showed you my stenciled stripes.
And when I started searching for the photographs, I came up with relatively zilch-oh.
And what I did find, were all from my Pre-Nikon-take-blog-pictures-with-my-cell-phone days.
But no matter… it is what it is, right?
And once we were done with the Perfect Wall Stripes, it looked blah.
I mean, yes… stripes ARE Â awesome.
But I had this Covington Allover Stencil {which I won} just sitting there.
And we had a conversation, girl to girl…
And let me tell you… she’s terribly persuasive.
What a huge difference… from dark and scary…
To Oooo-la-la, baby!
I did manage to get that dark teal wall covered with Rain by Sherwin Williams.
And for a while, the red curtains went back up.
But they aren’t there now, baby…
I’ll get to that at some point.
And I pinky-promise, it won’t be another 11 years before I do.
I’ll be honest, stenciling these stripes took some patience, of which I have very little. Â But this time, it was totally worth it.
Dontcha think?
