i painted the pretty gourd pattern on the walls of a master bedroom, in a cute little loft condo in grant park. i loooove how simple and subtle it is. it's the same idea as the work i did for megan, but since laura wanted a subtle feel, we stuck with using the same color for the wall and the pattern, and i just used a flat enamel to basecoat then a high-gloss to do the pattern. simple & pretty.
Love it...do you do it free hand or use a stencil? Thanks, K
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask the same thing! It looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the talent and patience to do that!
thank you guys!
ReplyDeleteyes, i made a hand-cut stencil, then i painted it on!
Is there anyway you could upload the stencil for us to use? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe design looks fabulous! I am about to paint my bedroom gray/silver and I just wondered if you could tell me the colors you used. I've been worried about the walls looking too cavernous.
ReplyDeleteAnd actually, I was asking about the colors used on Megan's walls. I'd want to use a 2-shade difference to create a more striking effect.
ReplyDeleteYour before bedroom.... the piece above the bed do u have a straight on pic of it? From what I can see I like it.

Saw this on Young House Love, it's absolutely fabulous! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so subtle yet AMAZING! (also visiting from Young House Love)
ReplyDeleteI have fallen in love with this!! If I'm not in the Atlanta area and can't have you do it for me, how can I get it for my bedroom?!?
ReplyDeleteI too saw this on Young House Love... they have a few different photos that you should put on your blog as well. So stunning, it definately looks like wallpaper from afar! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHi. I came over from Young House Love. What a great idea and perfect execution. I'm going to have to check out the rest of your site lady. I have a feeling there is a ton of good stuff here!
ReplyDeleteI also came from YHL and absolutely love it. I think you have to give us more details on how you did it though - it's so inspiring and I want to do it in our master bedroom
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect inspiration for my new bedroom. Love it! I'm a new follower. Can't wait to see what you do next.
ReplyDeleteI am so TOTALLY going to steal this idea for our upstairs bathroom!!!!! Maybe you could do a little tutorial?!
ReplyDeleteKristen, this wall is stunning! Yes Yes! Can you please give a tutorial -- how did you create your stencil.. out of cardstock?
ReplyDeleteI would love to know how you put it together! Thanks!
I absolutely adore this wall. Would you be willing to sell a stencil for this?

Love it! I just bought a rug from Rugs USA with the same design. It looks beautiful in my living room and would look great here too!
ReplyDeleteSooo pretty - I can't believe it's hand painted!! You are a VERY talented lady!!
