Months ago I developed this picture in my head of how to put together the first room you get to in our new house, which will serve as a multipurpose room of sorts...den, spare bedroom, whatever. This was the one room I decided I would be brave with. I planned to paint all walls with Martha Stewart Plumage and hang a white chandelier. Then I was going to stencil one of the walls...something I've never done before. But then the time came to tell the painter what color to put on the walls and guess what happened...part one of the chickening out. I told him to just paint an accent wall in the Martha Stewart Plumage and all other walls in a "#greige" color we were using throughout most of the house (Martha Stewart Bedford Gray). Cluck-cluck. Then came part two...I changed from my pretty white chandelier to a close to ceiling mounted light. Cluck-cluck-cluck. Here's what happened:
A little awkward and boring. So, I posted it on Houzz.com to see what others might say about #stenciling my one wall with the following pattern (Tuscan Trellis Allover Stencil by Cutting Edge Stencils - see picture below):
I only got 2 responses, but both were the same...paint all walls with the #Plumage color. +Sharon Charboneau said "Don't chicken out - go for your vision". So, I am heeding that advice and having all walls painted Plumage. I am also going back to the white chandelier and will still probably stencil one of the walls per my original plan...may as well do it up the way I wanted it in the first place. I'll post pictures when its all done.
UPDATE - August 12, 2013:
All 4 walls are now painted Martha Stewart Plumage. The white chandelier will be hung next...I will post more pictures once that is done. Then, I still plan to stencil one wall. I have trouble deciding which wall to choose as an "accent" wall, so suggestions are welcome.
UPDATE - November 8th, 2013:Check out the white chandelier that we hung in the room...
And here is some of the decor...
