Create a feature wall with a simple technique using sponges and Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. My son Colin did this wall in his bedroom in several hours. We did a makeover on his room awhile back but I never finished sharing it until now. I always thought the wall behind the bed needed a little oomph. What do you think? Take a look below at the plain wall. This is how the room looked before Colin did the stone wall treatment. My ideas ranged from painting chevron or stripes or even just a darker color. Then one day I mentioned, how about doing a stone wall like the one we painted together in my shop. Look familiar? Its the floor at Maison Decor. That did it! He loved the idea and was quick to get the project underway. He did it while I was at work one Saturday and I think it came out fantastic! He started at the ceiling and used large sponges and rolled the paint onto the sponge and then stamped the wall. He prepped the wall with a basic flat wall paint from Valspar, called Knight's Armour. Any dark charcoal or black paint will do, just have it be matte finish. Stamping the blocks in rows until he got to the bottom he would quickly finish the wall. He used Paris Grey Chalk Paint for the blocks and a little bit of Graphite for depth hand brushed over the blocks of Paris Grey. Lamps with burlap shades from HomeGoods look great on the bedside tables, also painted in Graphite, leaving the tops natural. http://maisondecor8.blogspot.com/2013/07/ragging-walls-and-more-cobblestones.html This is a tutorial on how we did the floor if you are interested. Part of the group of accessories we selected from our local HomeGoods included this very cool driftwood mirror. We also got the Lane wood base lamps with burlap shades and a bunch of pillows in shades of brown and black. Pillows and a black driftwood mirror from HomeGoods complete the look. We like to mix in old with the new to get a room that has individual flair and style. So mix it up with vintage finds, like trunks and taxidermy and then throw on some brand new plaid flannel sheets from HomeGoods to create a great looking room, with masculine appeal. He loves it, and so do I. Note: this post is partially sponsored by HomeGoods as part of my participation in their Pinterest program called Happy By Design.
