Hallway...Before & After

Finally...here are the pictures of my horizontal striped hallway project.
I must admit I am in LOVE with the results...

Before

After

I used Frogtape to tape off  my lines and it worked wonderfully on my textured walls. The lines are so crisp and straight...as necessary for a project like this. See my step by step tutorial here.

The view from the family room...

makes me smile!

Hallway Art

After I finished painting the horizontal stripes on my hallway project I decided to add some new art to this space.
I found a subway art poster and loved all of the inspiring words it had. 
I did not want to frame it with glass so needed to find a different way to hang it. I lucked out and found a giclee canvas print that is the EXACT  same size as my poster. I know...amazing!

After spray painting the sides black all I needed to do was attach the poster.

Thats when this Spray Adhesive came in handy.

I just sprayed the canvas and attached the poster. A perfect fit!

I also came across a very cool website called The Phraseology Project.
Graphic artist Drew Melton, got the idea to start designing user submitted words and phrases in order to practice his craft. Check out some of their awesome work here.
I purchased the "Once upon a time" print and was excited when it was delivered just days later.

I quickly opened my packaged and was impressed by the quality and wokmanship in this piece of art. It is even signed by the artist, Drew Melton.

After finding the perfect 12x12 black frame, I hung it in the hallway. It looks great against the new horizontal stripes!

Just a few more final touches and the hallway is done! Pictures coming soon...

Hallway Happiness!

As promised...here are the progress pictures from my Horizontal Stripe Hallway Project

BEFORE...

Work in progress...
I will be using these tools ALOT during this project!

First I painted the white stripes...no taping necessary for these, thank goodness!

Then...after LOTS of tape...I painted the khaki stripes

The big question was whether the FROGTAPE was going to live up to its claim "The sharpest lines possible, making touch-ups a thing of the past."

The moment of truth...

YEA!!

Needless to say I am very happy with the results. Minus a few touch ups needed in the corners...the FROGTAPE worked wonderfully. Be sure to follow the  tips for textured walls found on their website.

The AFTER pictures coming soon....
