Seeing Stripes....in the

kitchen, that is!!

Yes...yes, I did paint some lovely stripes in our kitchen nook and it looks fab! Seriously, we love it and it's subtle enough that the stripes aren't the "In your face" kind of stripes...they are just right.

See?! 

I have seen many inspirational photos online and in magazines of stripes painted on walls and ever since then I have been wanting to put stripes somewhere in our home!

I went back and forth on whether or not to do them in our entryway, but the kitchen nook seemed like a better space to add a little more drama.

I barely did any measuring (I know...some of you might cringe a little about that one) but really, no one is going to be taking a ruler to each stripe to make sure they were all equal, right?!

And if someone does, all I can say is good for them.  :)

The best part is peeling off the tape to see the end result!

The change is so subtle, but makes a big difference in person and in photos.

Hooray for quick changes!!

Oh, and the paint I used for the stripes was just leftover khaki and gray paint mixed together so I would have enough to paint with. Turns out, I actually have leftover paint from this mixture just in case I need to touch up a spot or two. :)

Are you loving stripes?

Thanks for stopping by!
