Decorating Diary: A Preview of This Weekend's Painting Project

The inspiration: Osborne & Little's "Volte-Face" wallcovering.


My tiny apartment needs a bold focal wall. A patterned wallpaper would be the natural choice, but since I’m renting I need something less permanent. So I’ve decided to paint a chevron pattern in a tone-on-tone blue palette. The colors are from Benjamin Moore, but I’ll be using Behr paint from Home Depot in the flat enamel finish. Behr’s paint covers exceptionally well and is less than half the price of BM. And, they will match any color you can bring them!

The Paint!


The Design!
