hex marks the spot

I finally found time to finish the bathroom wall project! Basically, I was just too lazy to bring the big ladder in from the shed.
I originally wanted to do wallpaper on this vanity wall... bridging the bedroom and bathroom together. Then, we chose a few different shades of grey paint to redo the bedroom, vanity, and bathroom areas. I still wanted some kind of visual interest on this wall, so I got the SAME color grey that we already had but in a glossy finish (rather than the flat or eggshell we already had). David made a cardboard stencil for me. I traced it with pencil, then hand-painted the hexagonal pattern with the glossy paint.
I think it came out great! I love it. It gives the vanity area depth and texture, without taking up any extra space.

This is a great idea, Cathy! I might steal for my closet...will be cheaper and more doable than the wallpaper.
