Hand painted walls…Laundry room

I have been searching for a stencil for a long time for my laundry room walls.  I wanted something that was large scale, so that ruled out all of the local shops.  I found something close to what I wanted online.  But, the stencil was close to fifty bucks and I didn’t want to spend that for a small room, especially because I probably wouldn’t have used it again.  So, I decided to hand paint my walls using a pattern.  Gulp.

 

I cut out a Moroccan pattern I liked on some cardboard and began tracing it on the wall.  It is a bit tedious, and I’m sure a stencil would have gone faster.  But, I like the idea that it will be a one of a kind and will look more like wallpaper.

 

 

Cutting it out took some time.

 

 

You like my cardboard?  I figured the top of the note pad would give it some stability.  Although, it has made it difficult to get into the corners.  I may end up cutting it off by the time I am done.

 

 

I think the scale fits the room well.  The tracing is probably slower than a stencil, but I think it will look unique.  So, there you go…another teaser.  Check back soon to see the finished hand painted walls!
