My bedroom has been asking for some rejuvenation for a while now, it's the one room in the house we've never done much to. We built a huge wardrobe from scratch last year that I love, but everything's been left white and plain. It's a small room so I didn't want to add colour all over but it needed a feature!

I love the new trend for this dark grey colour and considered one entirely grey wall, until I got thinking about my old room in my dads house. I once painted it in stripes of 8 different colours and thicknesses, it took me an age but I loved it! So the idea for grey stripes was born. 

I chose to use the window wall where our bed is as I figured it wouldn't seem too over the top, would provide a feature at the head of the bed and the sunlight would make the grey less dark.

Once I knew my tape was going to work I got masking up the entire wall and then covered it with 3 coats of the grey. I used a mini roller because I find large ones go everywhere and I got myself a small rounded paintbrush for the edges. (Excuse the state of this window, it was washed in the blazing sun, without being properly rinsed and looks a state!).

When the paint was dry I peeled the tape SLOWLY at an upwards angle, it's really important to peel slowly as some of the white pulled away when I first started to remove the tape quickly.

I'm super happy with the result and I think Enid likes it too :)
