I have put a lot of personal touches on it, but one thing that bothers me is all the white walls. While my art collection has grown (which helps the stark walls), sometimes I wish I could add just a little color.
It is in my lease that I can not paint, so I started thinking about ways to add non-permanent color to the walls.
Have you seen the craze of Washi Tape in the craft world? You can find it lots of places. I got some of mine here on Etsy. Well, I have a little collection that I love sticking on all sorts of things. There is multiple uses for it. I should do a whole post on that.
Well, I thought Washi Tape would be an easily removable way to add color. I chose to try it on a small piece of wall that is the edge of a half-wall between my kitchen and dining area.
(please excuse the greenery that is lying there waiting to be put away)
I picked 3 color-coordinated rolls of washi tape to use. I debated between a design (like chevron), different lengths of stripes, or top to bottom stripes.
I went with top to bottom strips, letting some wall show in between.
When I started I thought I might need to get out a pencil and level; but, it was actually pretty easy to keep straight (enough) lines.
I put excess tape on both the top and bottom, and then used a knife to make for clean lines.
This is the view I see when I walk out of my bedroom. I like the little splash of color it adds.
And the best part; when I'm sick of it, I can just pull it off!
