If there’s one thing that this quarantine has shown us (apart from the obvious) is that there is always a little corner of the house that needs work.

When we renovated, we opened up this little space to create a nook that would work as a closet. However, since we moved in that it froze in that temporary phase that we all knew was never going to be that temporary to start with.

That being said, i felt like doing something different without having to spend a lot, so this was my humble attempt.

This is what we started with. Very bland, I know. And that clothing rack couldn’t get any more wobbly, I don’t even remember how it looked straight.

Anyhow, here’s the list of materials (a lot of these I already had at hand):

I chose two very different colours and tested them before the real deal, and i strongly advise you to do the same if you, like me, have a tendency to suck on the first try.

Since the plan was to only do stamps, these cute paint samples were the perfect amount.

Then on to the least fun part: lining everything with painters tape. I also used the tape to create vertical lines that i could follow while stamping and guides for the shelves as well. This helps to create a visual picture of what it will look like.

Next step was cutting the sponge in a half moon shape to use as the stamp.

After trying the pattern on the foamboards, it was pretty much stamping away until i covered the entire wall. An IMPORTANT detail: i watered down the paint so you could see the texture of the sponge better.

The colours I chose were Paris 1 and Sage 5 from Luxens. I ended up going with the darker colour to create more contrast in the room.
