Mastering the Master Bedroom {Chevron Walls}

by on 1,939 Comments

Sometimes you start a project that you think you are going to finish in a weekend. And that weekend comes and goes and you decide it will be finished the next weekend. And then that weekend comes and goes and you decide it will be finished the next weekend. And then that weekend…okay, you get my point.

I’m a big believer that paint can do wonders for a room.  It’s fairly cheap and fairly easy to create big changes, although depending on your particular level of insanity, it can take a fairly long while to finish.  About a month ago, we started with this:

And almost a month later, we have this:

The two gray walls (Dark Granite by Behr) and the white ceiling (Powered Snow by Behr) were easy.  The chevrons (or zig-zags, as Tom insists we call them) took lasers.  And trigonometry.  And the use of the word hypotenuse.  It probably wouldn’t have taken *you* quite as long to do this as it did us, but that’s what happens when you marry an engineer.

At least I can say that the paint lines are, in a word, perfection (tutorial coming soon).  You can’t really tell from the wide shots, but each gray stripe has a small silver metallic stripe underneath.  It shines so beautifully in the sunlight, and is a great update to the basic chevron design.

The morning after we finished painting, I honestly felt like I had woken up in the pages of a magazine.  I commended myself for my vision and Tom for his ability to follow my instructions, even when he thought that just two stripes on one wall would have been sufficient.  🙂

Obviously, we still have a ton left to do to our master bedroom.  The only thing pictured that’s staying is the yellow dresser and the walls.  🙂  I’m trying to take it slowly and make sure that everything is exactly the way we want it to be.  Next up – redoing the other dresser that’s been living in my garage for two months.

What do you think?  How have you used paint to completely alter the look of a room?

UPDATE: I put together a tutorial for painting perfect stripes on textured walls.  You can find that tutorial here.

    It is so seriously amazing! You have way more patience than me and my boring all one color walls. Can’t wait to see what else you do with the space – although I would so totally be the one to just call it done now 🙂

      Yep, that’s definitely a valid point! But just think how alert you’d be when you woke up in the morning. 🙂

      In all honesty, we watch TV and play on our lap tops in bed every night until we turn out the lights, so the stripes aren’t a big deal to us. I can see how it could drive some people crazy, though.

    AH.MAY.ZING! That is a very bold, brave print on your wall and I LOVE it! It looks so great and the silver line adds that extra “oomf” – perfect!

    OH WOW!!! That chevron pattern is perfection! Love the close up pictures and I’m sure they don’t do it justice. Can’t wait for the tutorial!

    FABulous!! It does look like a magazine, and big brownie points to your hubby for trusting your vision and painting all those stripes! My hubby is pretty good at going along with all of my (ahem) “creative” ideas, but I’m not sure he would have been a willing participant in one this bold. The more I look at your pictures though, the more I’m thinking I might need to start working on him! =D

    I love it! It’s bold, and graphic, and wonderful! Your walls looked black at first. Or maybe I just have black on the brain because I just painted my office black. I’m excited to see how you finish out your room! Looks great so far.

    The kid was hovering while I read your post. And I quote, “those black and white zig zags are very cool mama.” I said no, they are gray, white and silver chevrons….he looked at me while I was CRAZY…..awesome zig zags, I mean chevrons….

      Thank you! We loved that room for several years. I was just ready for a huge change. My aesthetic has really changed in the last 5 years, and I’m finally feeling confident enough in myself to really let it out.

    Wow! I’ve never seen anything like that on walls. I got a chuckle out of the line “and the use of the word hypotenuse.” 🙂 Your dresser looks really nice, too!

    As the daughter of a painter and someone what has spent countless hours with a roll of masking tape. I know how hard that had to be.

    Unbelievable Lindsay!

    This is the best project I have seen in quite some time. I would never, never have the stamina to finish anything this huge and I commend you for your crazed determination! lol It’s super-great and I am so glad you love it!

    OMG Lindsay, this looks amazing! What a transformation. I feel your pain in trying to figure out the “zig zag” pattern. When I was making my chevron rug, I was in math overload ~ I hadn’t done that much calculation since college, lol. Wonderful job and thank you for linking this up to Saturday Spotlight!!

    I’m very impressed. I recently painted stripes in my entryway and it was a lot of taping, painting, re-taping, painting, etc. so I can’t even imagine how long this project took you! It looks amazing though! I saw your feature on Green Door Designs. 🙂

    hey there!

    i have been admiring your chevron stripes since first finding them on the internet. my cousin and i are planning on doing something similar on my living room wall above my fireplace. can you tell me what paint you used for the silver metallic stripe? and did it go on the same as regular paint? I did my daughter’s room in metallic gold, and it was a nightmare to apply!

    Thanks.

    I know it has been a long time since you painted, but can you tell me how far apart the zigzags are vertically and horizontally?

    Reply

    • Lindsay Ballard says

      Hey Missy! They are about 18 inches wide and probably about 24 inches apart? Something like that. 🙂 We figured out how to do it so that it would repeat on my walls by starting and ending in the same place.

    Hi! I love your master bed and how you have decorated it all I stumbled onto your blog because I was searching for yellow dressers and loved the entire room you did! I can’t find the measurements for the chevron stripes…could you kindly share how you taped the stripes as in at what distance and if angels are involved. I did read about how to tape on textured wall but I was wondering on how wide the stripes are etc Thank you 🙂

    Plinko ist ein Glücksspiel, das sich von den Online-Slots unterscheidet, die Sie gewohnt sind. Ursprünglich wurde es als Spiel im Rahmen der Show „Der Preis ist heiß“ entwickelt, hat sich jedoch zu einem sehr beliebten eigenständigen Spiel entwickelt, das Online-Casino- Spieler auf der ganzen Welt unterhält. Plinko ist mittlerweile in den meisten Online-Casinos verfügbar und hält tolle Belohnungen für erfahrene Spieler bereit. Der Verifizierungsprozess muss nach unseren GoldSpin Casino Erfahrungen nicht sofort erfolgen. Dies heißt, Sie können einzahlen und spielen. Die KYC-Prüfung findet im GoldSpin Casino vor der ersten Auszahlung statt. Der Spielanbieter benötigt hierfür die üblichen Legitimationsdokumente, mindestens einen Lichtbildausweis und einen Adressnachweis. Zusätzlich kann das Online Casino eine Bestätigung der Zahlungsmethode (Kreditkarten-Kopie, Kontoauszug oder Wallet-Scan) anfordern. Ein Herkunftsnachweis wird nach unseren Erfahrungen im GoldSpin Casino nur bei sehr hohen Einzahlungen gefordert.

    Wow! This Chevron wall design in the master bedroom is absolutely stunning. The clean lines and color contrast give it a magazine-worthy look. Truly inspiring DIY work. Just like how interiors need a perfect finish, I believe regular services like elevator maintenance in Singapore also play a big role in maintaining safe and beautiful living spaces. Can’t wait to see more ideas like this!

Pragmatic Play revisits its candy-coated sphere with Sweet Bonanza 1000, a beefed-up iteration of the particular widely acclaimed Nice Bonanza. This edition doesn’t dramatically transform the wheel; this retains the key appeal of the predecessor, but gives a substantial dose of volatility in addition to increased winning potential. Imagine the authentic game, but supercharged with multipliers way up to x1, 1000 – a tenfold increase that fundamentally alters the prospective payout landscape.

    The number one tip for any new casino player is to understand the game you’re playing. All of our online slots have detailed information pages, usually accessible by clicking on a small question mark or cog on the corner of the screen. Land the Jumbo Panda symbol fully in view to trigger the Pandamonium Bonus. The Pandamonium Bonus ends after the Pandamonium Spin. Northern Lights Gaming struck gold with all the features and the graphics, too. The panda on the left can spring into action at any time. Collect coins to see the jumbo panda jump on the reels and go for the jumbo-sized wins. Wilds plays a central role, too, making it one of the most entertaining panda-themed slots I’ve tried. Read my Panda Bonanza slot review below to learn more about the wackiest experience in the jungle.
