I finally got all the painting done. But I only did two walls. I figured if I did all the walls it would be to much and just look like a trapped mad man scribbled all over the place.
All though I have stenciled before, this stencil was a bit more difficult due to the small spaces of the letters. I didn't dilute my paint, it was straight Sherwin Williams.
I LOVE the the results!!
I did more of a washed out look. My walls were not smooth enough for the definite, bold, look. And this looked worked better with my decor.
I am undecided on towels. For months I have looked for brown towels, not so easy to find, most looked washed out or had a red tone to them. Now I am wondering if I should do with the wall color. I'm thinking the brown will look like big fat bricks on the wall, and I don't want to introduce another color.
What do you thing?
Brown or the blue-greeny wall color?
See the towel bar in the picture?
Well that's it for now! Hopefully in the next few weekends I can wrap this all up and get back to a good book. Let me know what you think.
I know I said I would be back on Monday with pictures. But it is taking me a little longer than I thought to do this. I also decided to do two walls. This stencil has a definite learning curve. I should finish this weekend, that means having all the towel bars back on (one which the screw doesn't seem to want to cooperate) and touch ups done. Since the letters are "narrow" sometimes I get a little paint bleeding and have to go back and touch up with the wall color. But here is a picture before any clean up. I'm loving it so far! Yea I'm not one to just show you the perfect finished project. I show you how to do it and what to do to fix it.
