A Simple Silhouette Striped Wall
September 8th, 2009 at 3:45 pm . Posted in Home Decor .Striped wall – COMPLETED!
There is one long wall on the left side of the living room & dining room when we walk into the house. We wanted to do something with it so we decided to do stripes. I love stripes!
We made a trip down to Home Depot, and thank god we only live 4 miles away! Again, here we were trying to decide on a color together. I hated his choices and he hated mine. Finally we decided on a color. Simple Silhouette by Behr. As for the 2nd color, we asked them to adjust the color to a lighter color.
We decided on 6 stripes and measured them with our new measuring tape. We can now stop borrowing my Dad’s. To get straight lines on the wall when we applied painting tape, we used a Strait-Line Laser Level from Home Depot.
While we were painting the dark color, my parents came over and freaked out. I had to remind them who’s house it was and that it’s not finished. I teased them and told them to leave and come back tomorrow when it was finished.
And at finally 3AM on Sunday we were finished!
Any ideas what we could put on the wall now?
Our dining room and living room is empty for now until we buy furniture. Tyler and I are looking into making our own dining table – nothing’s set in stone yet as we have other projects we want to focus on first.
I have this love and hate relationship with painting especially when the walls here in Arizona are textured. This week and weekend’s project is to paint our bedroom… hint: light blue/green.
Wow you guys are really good at painting.. I would go crazy painting stripes! The colors look amazing though! Can’t wait to see more photos of your house decorating in progress :D
