The Diamonds in the Bathroom

After taking our house off the market, we decided to give our bathroom a dramatic makeover.  We opted for an oversized diamond pattern.  The diamonds gave the bathroom much more character and made the otherwise cramped space feel twice it’s size.  We chose to paint the diamonds on only two of the walls, keeping the pattern from swallowing the room up whole.  The other two walls got a fresh coat of linen white to brighten the room.  We are very pleased with the finished product:

TIP #1STOP THE BLEEDING –  NOTHING CAN RUIN A SPECIALTY PAINT DESIGN LIKE BLEED MARKS. WHEN PAINTING A PATTERN THAT REQUIRES A SHARP LINE FOR THE FINISHED PRODUCT, SUCH AS DIAMONDS AND STRIPES; RUN A SMALL AMOUNT OF GLAZING LIQUID OVER THE EDGES OF YOUR TAPE TO FORM A SEAL. THIS WILL RESULT IN A PERFECT LINE EVERY TIME!
