When we moved into our house, the entry way was....well...something else. The floor was pebble tec(like you put in the bottom of a pool), the wall was a blue-ish/pink-ish wallpaper and there was an ugly brick planter.
Don't believe me? Here's a pic...
We did the quickest fix...we PAINTED!
Well, first we removed wallpaper(what a pain!)
and then we painted the wall & the front door & the gold chandelier & and covered the brick planter, which I posted about here.
And then threw carpet down over the awesome pebble tec, since even the flooring guys were stumped about how to remove it.
I have been itching to do something fun on this wall for years & I FINALLY did...thanks to cutting edge stencils!
We painted it a light gray to start and then used my Tuscan Trellis Allover stencil and white paint to put a design on the wall that pops! I still plan to put big canvases of my kids on this wall, but I love it so much more!
Its really a SIMPLE process, just TIME CONSUMING! Set aside a day or two or three(depends on how many times you have to stop to help your little ones) to just PAINT, but when you are done...you will be thrilled with the results!:)
