So today I took an hour of my day and finally started the project I've been thinking about for weeks now to try in our guest room. I totally stole the idea from here, and just made up a stencil with some card stock. I then used my $2.50 acrylic silver craft paint from Wal-Mart and a little craft paintbrush and took the plunge!
Originally I thought I would do it all across the back wall - but now I'm thinking I like it in the corner. I will most likely do one strip on the other wall kitty-corner across the room as I do still want to add my headboard and don't want it to be too much. But I'm pretty happy with it - think it made a big difference in adding interest to the room and was definitely within the budget at this point! :)

CHEAP AND FAST! ;)

I think you should do the whole wall. That would look snazzy!
how much do you charge?
Love it love it love it...
That depends Darrel...how much do you make?? ;)
I love it too. And I agree that with what you are planning for the headboard, just doing the strips on the sides will be adequate. Great work and very creative.
Ralna - this is AMAZING! You did such a great job! It's absolutely beautiful!
I love it!!

and so are you!
This looks so pretty! I didn't know craft paint could look so classy.
Hi, looks great! I'm wondering what color & brand is your wall paint? Also, I would love to do something like this but my walls are textured (knockdown), any opinions on if I could pull it off? Thanks!
For this room I just used CIL paint and the acrylic silver metallic craft paint for the stencil. I'm definitely not an expert - But I'm guessing something like this would still work on a knock-down texture - it would just be hard to get the cleaner lines of the stencil. Hope that helps! :)
