Behind the Scenes – Valentines Dining Room

by Barbara on January 9, 2012

My heart goes a pitter patter!

As I stated that in the first edition you can read here. I am so excited about Paint A Lifestyle being in the pages of Style At Home Magazine!

When Jennifer Brouwer discussed the theme for this room – will lets just say it went through a few variations before the zebra pattern was agreed upon.  I love the brain storming process.  Lets say it involved quite a bit of chocolate, coffee and pink…

So it is said so it shall be….

I drew the pattern on with chalk and when I ran out of chalk I used pencil.

This is the first coat  – I took quite a few layers to make the zebra stripes opaque – This is not a fast finish folks!  But it is a cool one! I love how it corners!

VOILA!!!!

My picture for my portfolio above.

The lay out for the article in Style A Home magazine.

I have to say it is a real Trip to be in a magazine.

Hopefully we can experience it again!

Love Barb
