Chevron Wall {Tutorial}

 I am making progress on my living room, after 3 hours of taping and 4 hours of painting it's done! Actually, it really was not as hard to do as I thought it was :)

First, I divided my wall in to 8 sections and using a laser level {totally need one of these, no clue how you would get a straight line up a 10 ft wall without it!} put up vertical stripes.  I decided to use stripes down the middle of the chevron to avoid any 'Charlie Brown' looking zig-zags.

I had a few minutes of cussing trying to get the laser lever to stick to the wall, finally I busted out a 3m strip, saved the day!

Next I measured down 10 inches on each blue strip.  I *kinda* planed this out by dividing the height of my wall by the number of chevrons I wanted.   I was really unsure how many would look good, I didn't want it to be to much and make me dizzy every time I looked at it.

After marking it on the tape, I then just connected the dots starting in the upper left hand corner by the ceiling.  {Sorry the next pic is blurry, I took a pic on my phone, but apparently not on my camera!}

Don't worry no crazy climbing 2 year olds were hurt during this tutorial.

Next I used the same color grey that is already on the wall to paint along the tape where I wanted to place my second color, this stops any bleed through!

Next paint your second color in, mine was Martha Stewart Talc the grey is Pebblestone.

While the paint is still wet pull it all off, if you wait for it to dry it will peel off the paint too.....trust me :)

Gorgeous! I used the Scotch Blue Edge Lock tape and the result are fabulous, no touching up!

Now I just need to paint that hallway behind it and build a entertainment center :) All in a days work huh?

Happy Hump Day!
