DIY Wall Art
What if you love the look of wallpaper but either can’t afford it or don’t want an all-over look? If you are even a tiny bit crafty, you should indulge in the art of decorative wall stenciling.
While flipping through the latest issue of Readymade magazine, I was stopped short by a tiny DIY-story about wall stenciling contributed by Ed Roth, a very hip stencil designer and author of the book ‘Stencil 101 Decor.’ The project - a simple gold honeycomb design on a turquoise wall - looked so clean and cool.
Intrigued by the possibilities in my own home (there is a wall in my bedroom begging for a little special attention), I dug around on etsy and discovered Cutting Edge Stencils. Cutting Edge creates and sells unique stencils in every kind of pattern, from a classic damask or diamond, to an organic creeping vine, to a tree surrounded by butterflies in flight. Each is more charming than the last, and the thin stencil sheets look very easy to work with. With a bit of tape, paint, and a roller you could transform a space in a matter of minutes. Check out their vast collection and get inspired.
I will be sure to tell my customers about this!
