Instructions

#1

First, we taped the baseboards and measured out the stripes. I was completely inspired by the trash can. I kept the base paint color the same (Monarch Summer Suede) and painted the stripes using BEHR’s Pearlescent Gold Veil. (pictured above)

#2

Here's picture of the BEHR’s Pearlescent Gold Veil that I used for the stripes.  It was so easy to paint on.

#3

I was inspired by these towels & accessories at Bed Bath & Beyond.  After I paiinted the stripes, I added a chair rail and painted it black.  Then I also painted the baseboads black to match.

#4

I then spray painted the iron towel rack and soap holder black.

#6

I used the iron from my banister as the design for the wall. I just traced it onto a posterboard, cut it out, then used it to draw the design onto the wall.

#7

I LOVE how it turned out. It matches my home but brings so much personality and flair into such a small space.
