I came across this awesome bathroom from That’s My Letter on Pinterest one day and drooled a bit over the plaid wallpaper. And then my jaw dropped when I’m realized it wasn’t wallpaper at all but paint! I was eager to try it, but I didn’t have any rooms that could serve as guinea pigs. So I made this board to bring the trend into my Christmas. I’m still not sure whether I’m going to use it to hang a wreath or to display my Christmas cards… decisions decisions…
I started off with red because…… Christmas! Painting it was a lot of fun, so I just thought I’d flip it over and try some green 🙂
Tip – after using latex and acrylic , I would definitely recommend the acrylic to allow for faster painting and better staying power under the tape
Tip #2 – I used medicine cups to measure my paint. I made 8 tsp of paint total for each color, and it was plenty.
I loved hanging my stockings on my faux fireplace (plans for that here!), and I made the yarn trees (check out my source list for similar ones). My wonderfully talented quilting mom made the stockings. Check them out here!
Hope this inspires you to find something to buffalo check up! I’m still toying with painting walls with this trick….
