When Jamie shared photos of her elegant striped walls—directly inspired by our bathroom painting project—we had to showcase the impressive makeover. Here’s the note she sent us:
Just wanted to tell you “THANK YOU” and send a big cyber-hug for inspiring me to get off my duff and add some oomph to my home. After seeing your fabulous bathroom stripes, I went stripe-crazy in my own house and it made all the difference. I painted stripes in my bathroom similar to yours, then continued the look by adding them to my master bedroom. The result is such delightful texture for the eye! I absolutely love the finished rooms, and I appreciate all of your creative ideas, your thoughtful replies to emails and comments, and the generous advice you share with readers. I’ve been giving shout-outs on my blog and have a good chunk of the Salt Lake Valley following along, so I think I’m doing a decent job spreading the stripe love. Let’s be honest—what’s not to love? In short: I’m pretty thrilled about my stripes!!! Love you both! -Jamie
Here’s the bedroom as it looked before Operation Stripe Happy:
And here it is after Jamie completed the transformation:
Her bathroom got in on the fun too:
These chic stripes look beautiful both as a bathroom treatment and as a striking feature wall behind the bed. It’s a reminder of how transformative a little paint and some painter’s tape can be—an inexpensive project that delivers a lot of visual impact. Thank you, Jamie, for sending such inspiring photos!
