Painted wallpaper

A few weeks ago Cale and I tackled a project I've had on my to-do list for several months.  I wanted to do something to brighten up the wall in our front room (which serves as playroom, school room and entry way).  Initially I thought about painting a chevron pattern on the wall, but then decided that was too trendy and I'd get tired of it quickly.  But I couldn't find just was I was looking for until I found this over at jones deisgn company.  We finally set to work and about 16 hours later, this was our finished product!

Cale did all the stenciling on of the pattern and I painted most of it myself.  It took us parts of 5 different evenings and while you might think 16 hours sounds like a lot, it wasn't bad and the finished result was so totally worth it!

I realize that my pictures don't do it justice, but here's another one anyways!  It adds so much personality to this space without being overbearing.  We are so happy with how it turned out.
