Have you ever finished a room and loved it all but just thought it needed something else? Several years ago, I redid my Living Room and Hall. I painted it a light tan color (can't even remember the color in my own house) and used white for all of the woodwork. I took the color down my hall because there was not a stopping point. I felt it just needed something else.
So, I ragged my hall (that's putting on a lighter color with a glaze and then rolling up a soft rag and rolling it up the wall which takes some of the paint off) and still wanted more.
I love dragonflies and had this old stencil. I decided to do 2-3 of the dragonflies on the hall. I just scattered them in no particular order and not in a pattern. Some up, some down, some just floating around. (I rhyme!!)
I did them in soft colors so they really didn't pop out at you when you walked down the hall. Then I decided to add a brass upholstery tack to the head. It's amazing what one little tack can add.
I love the dragonflies and they will definitely be there for a long while.
Till next time, Judy
Very pretty, Judy. I have a friend who loves dragonflies, and they seek her out all the time, too.

What a pretty affect. I love dragonflies and am wondering where I can add them in my home.
ReplyDeleteI love dragonflies and painted some on a bathroom wall once! It was so fun!
ReplyDeleteThe dragon flies are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the ragged walls and the dragonflies are so cute.....
ReplyDeleteUnique. Didn't even notice the dragonfly had a brass head until the end of your post. Love it.

I love your dragonflies, Judy.. What a perfect idea for a little extra added attraction. Adding the tacks is a great idea..
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Love this idea Judy! Would also be a good way to hide a flaw on the wall.
ReplyDeleteI love dragonflies and this would be perfect in my guest bath!
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI, I tried to click on one of your comments over at Mockingbird Hill Cottage to get here, but it won't work. It looks like your address is incomplete. I finally found you, so I'm going to try to add an icon on my iPhone for easy visiting!
That is very clever! I would love to try something like this with seashells when I finally get around to painting my bathroom!
