Yeah. Me too. Until I saw some of the fabulous rooms below. No these are not wallpapers. They are done with stencils!
I am in love with what Janell of Isabella and Max Rooms did here using a stencil from Whitewall & Co. Be sure to read her tutorial.
And then there's this lovely office in the home of Emily from Jones Design Company.
She also gives a step by step tutorial of creating her "painted wallpaper" and you can download the template she created herself.
She used the Trellis pattern from Cutting Edge Stencils.
What a great way to give a kind of architectural feature to tiny little bathroom.
Here are a couple of my favorites from their collection:
 |
| Moroccan Dream |
 |
| Mountain Ash |
Another great source for stencil patterns is Olive Leaf Stencils. Check out some of these swoon worthy rooms done using their designs.
 |
| Art Deco Flora |
 |
| Pin Cushion Protea |
 |
| Ikat Pattern No. 1 |
I think these are great ways to get the look of really high end wallpaper for simply the cost of the stencil and some paint. (And maybe a trip to the chiropractor ... especially if you are doing a ceiling!)
What do you think? Weekend project anyone?
