Dining room makeover :
We are renovating our
home. We were living in a total mess for 6 months. All the dusty work is over
now. Thank God!
Now I have started working on the decoration. Before
the renovation, our dining room wall has been painted with texture paints .The
texture painting is so common now a day that you can see it in almost every
home.
This time I wanted something unique and beautiful. I decided
to use stencils. And there begun my long search for the readymade stencils. I
couldn’t get a single
stencil in India as per my liking. There is almost no choice. You can
order it online from out of India but it gets costly.
I didn't want to spend too much money on my experimental
project. Hence I made the stencil myself. l drew the design I like on ohp sheet
and cut it with craft knife. Here is the
stencil I have made and used.
We painted the dining room wall light yellow as basic color
with asian paint royal luxury (don't remember the exact shade). For stenciling
I have used asian paint royal glitter color.
This is how the wall was looking before stenciling. Please
ignore the mess and poor quality of photo. This is the only photo I could find.
Because of time constraint I couldn’t give a lot of time in a
stretch. l was working on it 20-30 mins daily for almost 20 days.
It was a tedious work but worth it. The result was amazing. If you have
time and of course patience, you can round it up in a day or two.
After finishing the cushions (done by my father) the dining
room is looking like this.
I hope you liked my
dining wall make over. You can do it too. I'll come with the detailed tutorial on how to
stencil soon. Till then if you require any information you can mail me at
