Diana Kogan felt that
blank space above her bed was begging for something more than just framed
art...it needed "design". So she got creative with our Raised Plaster
Life-sized Tree Stencil and went to work creating a really unique look!
She mirrored two trees by flipping the stencils and allowing
the branches to cross one another in the center. Look how well the leaves of
the stencil coordinate with her bedding. What a great choice!
By leaving the design pure white, she not only coordinated
with the background of the bedding, but also contrasted with the color of the
walls. Very cool!
Now, I personally could imagine laying on that bed, looking
up at the ceiling and possibly using just the branch of the tree stencil to
also create a circular pattern around the light fixture and maybe even border
the ceiling in clustered branches over a pale gold or neutral brown paint.
Great job Diana! You've inspired us all to think "outside
the box".
Designer's tip:
When doing tree designs, consider buying
inexpensive canister lighting from Lowe's or Home Depot then place them on the
floor to shine up on to your trees. What this does is to create intense shadow
even on designs that have been left white or painted the color of the wall.
Canister lights run between $5.00-$20.00 depending on the style.
