Seeing Stripes

Posted on 06. Oct, 2008 by Mrs. Mecomber in blogging

I had guests a week ago and got another compliment about my upstairs bathroom. Everytime I show a guest the bathroom, they touch the wall and ask, “Is that wallpaper or paint?” I just love it when they ask that.

I love stripes on walls. But I don’t like wallpaper too much because it’s so difficult to install and so expensive. And in a bathroom, a room where moisture builds up, wallpaper would not stay very long. So I decided to paint stripes on my walls. If you are interested in reading about how I did it, see my post here. It’s not hard, but it is more time consuming than rolling plain old paint on the walls. But I think it has made all the difference. It gives my bathroom a really classy look.

You can go with big fat stripes or stripes that look like they’ve been on diet pills, heh heh. (Good one, huh?) The technique is basically the same. And you’ll never have to worry about curling or peeling wallpaper again!
