Show & Tell: Chevron Closet
I love seeing readers projects pop up in my in-box. I especially love it when one of my projects inspired them to do a project of their own.
For example Carmel of Our Fifth House recently send me her closet re-vamp.
Check out the before:
I must say my looks really similar and I don’t have an after…yet.
Her after:
Nice and neat. Love how organized it is and she even added a little sitting area. Now my favorite part and where I come into the equation.
Chevron Wall:
Carmel checked out the DIY library and found my No Paint stripes tutorial and used it to make her chevron wall:
Beautiful. Not only does it not damage the wall, but it’s a bit cheaper than using Japanese tape and takes less time than paint!
A big thanks to Carmel for sharing!

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

Looks great! This could be done for so many other projects, like a wooden painted headboard or even plates? Decoupage them to make them last? Or put the tapes on a mirror for an unique look? So many possibilities!
I especially love the little pig with the “Feed Me” sign – so cute!!!

That’s adorable! LOVE the chevron pattern on the wall. It looks like my closet, too, almost exactly…and I, too, don’t have an after. (Bigger fish to fry before I tackle the closet.) I hadn’t thought about putting a mirror in there, though. Hmmm…it would definitely help make the closet seem bigger. Great idea!

Question
Why can’t I do this and KEEP it this WAY!
Ugghh my Hubby doesn’t help when he throws his sneakers and such around the closet.
What if (What if) I send you some pics and you assist me in getting some organization or am I on my own!
HELP……

Can you tell me the measurements of your closet. Mine looks similar and want to make sure they are similar in size to make sure I can do same updates to mine

I’m sorry, but this wasn’t my project. I would just measure your walls and then measure the width of the wallpaper you want to use to figure out how many rolls you are going to need.
