Gold Polka Point Striped Niche



Thankfully this trouble solid has lots of storage, together with the hall leading dorsum to the principal bedchamber has an angled corner cabinet alongside a niche cutting out.  The storage cabinet is really useful, but the niche has ever a hurting inwards the cervix to decorate.  One, it's an strange shape, two, it's asymmetrical, together with three, it's height.  One side is broad together with i is narrow, thence it's hard to pick out where the focal signal should be.  Most accessories acquire out lots of blank infinite betwixt the tops of them together with the residuum of the wall to the ceiling, leaving a lot of empty feeling space.


After many dissimilar attempts over half dozen years of living here, I recall I finally figured it out!


For a spell I've had the itch to repaint our living spaces, which would last Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 LOT of paradigm thence it's non on the docket whatever fourth dimension soon.  I'm actually thinking close going lighter on the walls, maybe a warm white or super lite tan.  So, I watch the niche would last a perfect spot to experiment alongside a color.  I chose "Shoji White" yesteryear Sherwin Williams.  I'm loving it thence far together with wishing the residuum of the trouble solid would last that slowly to paint!


If you've been but about hither for a while, yous mightiness accept noticed I accept a recall for stripes together with polka dots, whether it's purpose of a room design or a cake!

The stripes helped to fill upward the wall space, together with the polka point ceiling was an afterthought but to add together some fun.  I adore all of the star together with polka point ceilings that I've seen but about the web, together with watch this would last the perfect identify to build this weird infinite into something special.


Now, several of yous figured out from my sneak peek in conclusion calendar week that I used duck tape!  (Yes, ducK tape, I know it's officially called ducT tape, but the build on the curl is ducK tape thence we'll become alongside that!)

Normally I in all likelihood would accept but eye-balled the stripes, but I knew I wanted to last hanging some artwork in that location that would accept to last infinite but right, thence I measured.  I started alongside a build clean border on the travel yesteryear of the piece, tore a strip slightly longer than needed, applied the record to the wall, together with thence used an x-acto knife along the bottom to cutting a build clean edge.

I'm certain some volition wonder, thence I'll address this question.  Will the record harm the wall?  Maybe.  I used fresh pigment on this wall, together with thence several days subsequently position the stripes up.  A few weeks later, I decided that they needed to last re-positioned, together with equally I pulled the record off it tore a few spots of pigment off.  I'm non certain if the recent pigment labor had anything to create alongside it, or if the record would usually tear the wall regardless.  Mine was non actually a big deal, I but painted over those spots again.  Just thence yous know what to maybe expect.

I watch close getting some vinyl when I watch of adding the dots, but but decided to work what I had together with work the duck record for the dots equally well.  I institute a drinking glass that was but the correct size to jibe the width of the tape, together with traced some circles out.  


To ease the cutting out process, I cutting some strips of wax newspaper together with stuck them underneath the tape, leaving an border without the wax paper, thence it would pare off easily similar a sticker.  I learned that yous demand to stick the record to the wax paper, trace, cut, together with pare together with stick correct away.  I made a bunch of dots together with waited a few days earlier trying to pare off the backing, together with it wouldn't come upward off.  Don't acquire out it on equally good long!

Because I wanted to acquire a practiced watch of where the dots were going earlier I started sticking them up, I used pieces of painter's record to determine their placement.


My walls are lightly textured, thence I tried non to press anything downwardly equally good hard.  It looked smoother if I applied alongside a lite touch.  If yous accept smoothen walls would last fifty-fifty better!

I knew almost equally presently equally I brought them domicile that I wanted my thrifted prints to become inwards this spot.  I cut novel mats using this method together with position them inwards novel frames, together with I can't country yous how much I dearest these pictures!  


I'm keeping an oculus out for a bust to become here, it but seems similar that's naturally what needs to last inwards this spot!  In the meantime though, I but used some greenery from the yard, together with moved the thrifted Equus caballus caput from the living room. 


For a infinitesimal I got a wild hair...


It didn't stay.  Maybe at Christmas, but I actually desire the perfect picayune pendant lite that I tin compass the axe supplant that tin compass the axe lite with.  


Now I don't cringe anymore every fourth dimension I meet this spot equally I walk to my room!


Have yous used duct record equally decor inwards your home?

I won't last posting tomorrow, but I'll meet yous on Monday, fifty-fifty though it's a holiday.  I accept a VERY particular calendar week planned, together with you'll desire to banking concern check inwards every day...promise!
