Stripes: Coloring Outside the Lines

Recently, I have been inspired by stripes used in new and intriguing ways. I have been craving a little modern updating for my own home. Bringing in stripes in some of these new ways might be the answer. My home is very traditional that's why I have selected the images below. Although the pictures offer bold and inspiring modern design aesthetic, they pay homage to tradition. My daughter turns sixteen this September, and we are considering finishing our basement so she and her friends have a welcoming place to gather. I would love to try painting the stairs. Any of the painting techniques would make an impressive DIY project but would need to be coupled with plenty of research, patience and a very accurate level. I'll keep you 'posted' if I give it a try! Enjoy!
