Stripes, Stripes, Stripes~plus a mudroom makeover under $100

Stripes, Stripes, & More Stripes..
Happy Monday Everyone!
Hope you all had a fun weekend.
My weekend seemed to fly by and I don't feel like I was very productive at home
But,
 it was one of those weekends were "we did fun stuff"
We enjoyed a birthday party for my father in law, we went grouse hunting (0/4), and we went to our church's Harvest party~I rode a horse for the first time, so that was great!

Anyways, I wanted to share a productive project anyone can do:
I did it a while back~actually a long while back..
But, it was so fun I wanted to look at it again!

Do you have one of those spaces that just needs something?
You don't know what..but you think it needs a "pop" of color.

Check out this mudroom Makeover for under $100.
It is from: 
The decor chick:
She added a super fun striped wall and a cozy bench to create a super awesome space!

Have you ever though about adding stripes?
In our first home, I saw this picture below and was completely inspired:
I loved everything about it...
From: Cozy Cottage Cute

So, I tried to create a hallway with Stripes!
My sister came over and we went to town!
Her and I were able to figure it out on our own and took just a few hours to do!


If you are looking to add a "fun touch" to your home, consider stripes!

Here are the directions:


#1. You take 7.5 inches from the top draw a line and 7.5 inches from the bottom draw lines.
~in my case "dear hubby" has a laser line shot, so that is what I used.

#2. Once you have those lines marked, measure 15 inches between them until you are done.
 Now, this is on my ceiling--which I believe is 7.5ft. not including 1/2 foot for baseboard.
 To decide the width of your stripes, measure the total height of the wall from the ceiling to the base molding and divide by seven. If you want thicker stripes, divide by five. If you want skinny stripes divide by nine or more.

#3. Now time to tape! Tape appropriately so you can do a different color every row!
Once you have taped, start painting! You do one color at a time, because you have to tape and then remove.

I am sure pinterest has way better directions..so follow them...LOL :)
But, you get the idea!

Hope you Enjoyed the Post Today!
