I can finally unveil my finished accent wall in the craft room!
Since my husband and I are on a tight budget, I've turned to paint as a way to add personality and decor all in one. With my craft room remodel, I had to add some creativity to one of the walls. To add my personal touch, I decided to doodle on the wall a simple design that I tend to draw all the time. =)
Here's where I started:
For my paint, I just went with an off white color. Valspar Delicate White
I also bought the Valspar Paint Crystals after reading about it on Pinterest, of course. I mixed about 1 pint to roughly 1-2 tablespoons of the paint crystals. As the directions suggest, mix the crystals in gradually so they don't clump in the paint.
Then, I used chalk to draw out my design.
Then I painted...
and painted...
and painted.
It really wasn't that bad... but I am a perfectionist and question just about every line before I add it.
I also painted 2 coats to make sure the purple didn't come through and
to guarantee that I'd get enough sparkle. Once the paint dries, the chalk can simply be wiped with a damp towel.
Here's the final product!
