Stenciled wall that was all for not!!

As promised I'm here to talk about my stenciled wall!

So I originally thought about using some vintage looking wall paper in the laundry room, but after I changed color schemes I wasn't sure.  But, I made a stencil anyways.  I used an old plastic page protector.  Not the new kind, but the old kind that had black paper in it because they are fairly stiff.  I taped four sheets together and then traced my design on with a permanent marker.  Then I just cut it out with a utility knife.  Making sure to leave small lines to connect the stencil.  After it was complete I taped it to the wall and used craft paint and went to town.

I did the whole wall!!  

Loved the stencil, but not necessarily with the linen wall I put up!

This blog is about "real" DIY, and in the real world everything doesn't look as good as it might in your head.  I put the debate on my face book page. Many people liked it, but a lot felt like me and said they weren't feeling it. 

 I had to go with my gut, and my gut said get rid of it!!

So I painted over it!!

It's now a white wall!

You just gotta go with what you like!!

I have lots more to do in this laundry room so come back!

Thanks for stopping by!
