However, this past weekend we decided to have a Cinco De Mayo / Fight Party at the house and that was my excuse to do something to the smaller sitting room side of the basement.
So the room went from this, a long narrow space (behind me are 2 windows and my daughters play space)
To this (wall taped off for stripe painting):
To this (alternating striped filled in with a warm light brown paint):
To done!
The exposed sockets annoy me but we didn't want to hang the TV much higher to hide them so we will deal with it. I love the transformation that this one focal wall made. All in all it took about 3 hours. I taped off the wall the night before and then painted the following day. I think it went faster than the time when I painted striped on the small half bath back in CT (pics here)
Still to get for this room are throw pillows, wall art, large wicker basket and a side table for the lamp...
Here is a closer view of my painted stripes.
I think I may want to add a plant down here too, to liven up the space. We will see.
