This is a great option for those of you who are SCARED to death of wallpaper!! I know this process of painting stripes, chevrons etc. may take a awhile, but from Maria's results I think it's well worth it! You can ALWAYS paint over it if you don't like it right?? And for all you MARRIED ladies....ask your husbands for a helping hand. You can see all the pics & read more about it on her blog.

It takes me to the 70's. I am sure it works in some rooms, not a whole room.

The wall looks great! Very chic!
That looks like a lot of work but so worth it !
a very good option indeed! I want to paint stripes on my dining room wall :)
It looks gorgeous! You've inspired me to do that in my living room too. Great job!
I LOVE IT! It looks amazing. My first thought was that it was wallpaper. Love the neutral color with bold design.
I'm in love with chevron...what a fantastic idea!
That's one intimidating DIY, but it looks fantastic!

This took a lot of patience. More than I'll ever have but it came out beautiful.
Oh my goodness I love it. I'm so afraid of taping straight lines!
Wow, that seems like a lot of work but it looks amazing!
That looks great, and makes such a statement!
Looks like hard work but it's BEAUTIFUL!
It is like the DIY Imperial Trelis over at the Hello Gorgeous Blog. It looked sooo tedious but the results were fab! I wish I had the patience for something like that hehe.
Very cool!
I've seen several chevron DIY projects around there... I did one myself, http://adventuresindressmaking.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-am-so-proud-of-my-diy-zig-zag-rug.html,
and it and a few others are on Design Sponge and around...

There are different tools you can use... tape works, but I found that freezer paper worked best on fabric for my rug.
I looove chevron patterns!
Love this look soo much!!! :)
