Painting A Multi-Colored Houndstooth Stencil On The Bedroom Wall: a house log
Ready for some wow? Jess and Monica truly turned some out for this makeover of their friend’s guest room. Sherry has been obsessed with houndstooth ever since I met her and you are about to see a fairly cool take on it below. Here is their letter:
Hi The house team! We simply wrapped up a lively and affordable room redesign for our friends Connie & Mark, so we thought we’d share it with you. When a close friend asks you to assist re-do their bubble-gum pink, non-descript guest room, you cannot say no.
Our go-to part of the room is the multi-colored houndstooth stencil. We enjoy how it is kind of a modern spin on a classic pattern. It was certainly a labor of enjoy (we even called in some backup assistance), but it makes a large impact in the room. It certainly set the tone for the rest of the space: mixing old with new.
We made the headboard out of old shutters (or are they doors? Not sure!). We needed something that would stand out from the wall, command attention, and add some character, so we were glad to find these.
Connie & Mark had this dresser that we knew we could wake up with some paint and new hardware, so that saved us some big bucks! Another lively part was coming up with a unique way to showcase Connie’s collection of old family photos. A plain gallery wall worked truly well.
We hoped the room to be functional too. Since this is their guest room, we made sure to add some towels and an extra blanket to the $8 industrial cart so their guests feel at home.
We are already planning a sleepover at Connie and Mark’s. Thanks for letting us share! – Monica & Jess
As much as I cannot stop looking at that stencil, I have to say I am truly digging the rustic, subdued touches that anchor the room. Pleasant work ladies – your friends must be in love. And for those who want to enjoy on this room a bit more, you can check out some extra photos and deets on their journal. But first tell us your go-to part. Is it the stencil? The blue dresser? The suitcases at the foot of the bed? The homemade headboard? That cute plant stand? There is certainly plenty to enjoy…
