This is the first room I have painted in this house and I had a few things I knew I wanted about it. First, I knew I wanted that exact shade of blue and white and I wanted a design on one wall. I was first planning on doing a stencil design but I realized after a little research that they didn't give the rich even coverage and clean lines I was looking for. Then I found the herringbone pattern on
www.lifewithfingerprints.com and knew that was exactly just what I wanted!
 |
| I started by painting the entire room blue and the ceiling white |
 |
| Next, I taped out my design for every other section. 10" wide and 6" vertically. I then sealed my paint edges using this technique and painted every other vertical section white. I removed my tape immediately and had prefect, crisp lines! |
 |
| This $20 laser level made the project a whole lot easier! |
 |
| After the paint dried completely, I followed the same process with the remaining columns. |
 |
| I used a TON of tape! |
 |
| The final product. The whole process took me about 4 days but I think it was totally worth it! I am in love! :) |
