Stencil Wall Transformation-TaDa!!

Remember my kitchen update project??

Well, we kind of did a trial run.

We Guinea Pigged it.

On Taylor's hallway wall.

Started out like this.

Yeah, I know, not too spectacular.

So we began experimenting in our own peculiar way.

Taylor wanted this wall to make a statement.

The first bit of color, our mantra...it's only paint!

I say we, but by this point my fingers are pretty much stuck together.

As I sit here typing this post, my fingers are sticking to the keys!

Anyway, Taylor has a puppy, Noble, who obviously wanted nothing to do with this whole project.

That was fine with me, the last thing I wanted was to pet a shedding dog with sticky hands!

We used regular wall paint and had a wee bit of seepage, Taylor thought it just looked more like an Ikat pattern and who was I to argue with that logic/rationalization.

This cottage is under 1000 square feet, so you have to get creative in how you use space.

This is Taylor's makeup table.

She uses a jewelry box that her Memere gave her years ago

to keep her makeup in.

So, the question is...

mirror, centered or off center???

In real time it took about two hours and we had some great mother/daughter time.
