Vertical Stripes and a Winner
I took on a teeny tiny little project over the weekend in our entry (you can see it on instagram here). Last week I mentioned that we painted our living room and that I still had a few more things to do before posting about it. There is one wall in our entry (which is connected to our living room) where I wanted to do something special. For some reason, vertical stripes seem so fresh to me now. They have a timelessness about them, no? Anyway, the stripes are up & I’m so happy with how they turned out! Here are a few great examples that sealed to deal for me.
I put a Laura Ashley Taupe and Cream Stripe Wallpaper in my bedroom 15 and 3 houses ago. It still remains my favorite wall treatment. Classic and fresh no matter when!! Do it! xo
meant to say 15 years ago!! xo
i loved the instagram peel and can't wait to see!
oh my lord, peek, not peel.
After painting this weekend, nothing involving paint is a tiny project. Drop cloths, tape, coats, ladders, clean up – and you added measuring and straight lines! So impressive. I love the inspiration and the Instagram pic! Definitely has a timeless appeal.
I am a huge fan of stripes and I love all the inspiration photos!

What fun for your entry! Like Kim I had a cream & taupe striped wallpaper in one of our houses years ago…..loved the look then, and still love it now! Definitely a classic.
I would love to incorporate stripes into either my entry way or my office. Both areas are small and I think they would really benefit from having such a large impact. Thanks for the inspiration.

We're on the same wave length – I'm doing vertical stripes in my entry closet. 🙂 They're my favorite, can't wait to see your entry, I think it's about the size of mine!
Timeless? Yes, indeed. If the teaser pic on Instagram is any indication, this will be a lovely early 2014 redo!
Absolutely! I loved the peek on Instagram. Your stripes look fabulous Rene! What a fun way to kick off 2014!
We have vertical stripes in our our kids' shared room, and although I HATED painting them, I do love them.
