When Jamie sent photos of her elegantly striped walls—an update inspired by our bathroom painting project—we had to share the impressive transformation. Here’s the note she sent:
Just wanted to tell you “THANK YOU” and give you a big cyber-hug for inspiring me to get off my duff and add some “oomph” to my house. After seeing your altogether fabulous bathroom stripes, I’ve gone stripe-wild in my own house and it’s made all the difference. I did stripes in my bathroom – much like yours – then kept the love going by adding them to my master bedroom as well. Talk about textural eye candy! I just love them, and I love you for all of your fabulous ideas, your prompt responses to emails and comments, and the free advice you so generously bestow on your faithful readers. I’m doing my utmost to return the love by giving you shout outs on my blog as much as possible. I’ve got a large portion of the Salt Lake valley following your every move so I think I’m doing a good job. Let’s be honest, what’s not to love? In short: I’m pretty freaking excited 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 her stripe makeover:
Her bathroom joined the party too, with matching stripes that bring cohesion and personality to the home.
These chic stripes create a striking focal point both behind the bed and in the bathroom. It’s a great example of how a simple, affordable project—one gallon of paint and some painter’s tape—can dramatically change a room’s look and feel. The results are stylish, modern, and full of personality.
Thanks so much for sending the photos, Jamie. What do you think? Isn’t it amazing what a little paint and tape can do?
