Master Bedroom

Here is our bedroom. Pretty plain and boring. The walls were some sort of dusty peach. Ick! 



The ceilings were so well done. I hate popcorn ceilings but that's not the worst part.


The worst part was that they didn't even paint the ceiling before they pop-corned it so the ceiling had awful lines. 


Our beautiful ceiling once we primed, painted and added our new fancy light. 


Here is the old and new color change. I wanted our room to be an escape, a warm escape. That's why we went with the warm tones.


To add a bit of fancy we got creative and made a feature wall behind our bed. 

I printed off a shape and traced it onto cardboard. To get the shape big enough I opened the image in paint and used the option to print it 2:2. Similar to printing a tiled version, just depends on the programs that you have.


To ensure our pattern stayed even we taped a level onto our stencil before beginning. 



Here is our pattern traced onto the wall. 


All we did was paint over top of the lines that we traced with a fine tipped paint brush.


Gorgeous!!! I absolutely love how this wall looks.
Here is the wall completed.


I got the stencil from this blog. Check it out if you are interested in giving it a try yourself! http://www.whiletheysnooze.blogspot.ca/2012/07/diy-moroccan-style-wall-stencil.html?m=1
