great hand stenciled wall....

I loved this wallpaper look from a Before & After on Design Sponge.

But, the homeowner says in the comments section :

I actually hand stenciled that wall. Some might question my sanity, but I cut about 550

circles out of freezer paper with an Xacto,

ironed the negatives to the wall, and painted the circles in grey.

I love this idea, and it turned out great!!

Check out the whole before & after here.

friday find

These chair makeovers are from Jane at All The Luck in the World.

She is a graphic designer and artist who combines found and thrifted items,

and adds applications and embroidery.

She re-covered these chairs with packing blankets and then added her own artistic touches.

Design Sponge featured Jane's patchwork chair (bottom picture)

with a diy tutorial. Read about it here.

I am in awe of her talent!
