Majestic wall crown

As you know, I love instant gratification when it comes to decorating... Something as simple and inexpensive as a fresh coat of paint can transform your space from the demure to the exotic! Our master bedroom is a great example of this. The walls were a pale celadon green before... Now they're a rich, sumptuous chocolate brown... Warm & inviting! We added the ornate wall crown as a beautiful architectural element above our headboard to create height and old world charm... It blends into the wall color like it's been there for years, but still adds extra sparkle with its touches of metallic gold. Of course, I could not stop there and added layers of vintage pink curtains puddled beneath. (You could do anything here - from textural burlap, to a brightly patterned or striped fabric, to flowing silk, to sheer netting - for a completely different feel.) Nestled underneath the crown we've added an exquisite design in hand-painted gold, directly on the wall. Again, you could achieve the same effect free-handed, stenciled, or stamped. We chose to do ours in metallic gold to mimic the wall crown above, but you could do this in another contrasting color... whatever tickles your fancy!

p.s. I've talked about our headboard in past videos (someday I will be ready for a change!) but the vintage wallpaper is just too good to let go of for now!! BTW, wallpaper is such a great solution for covering just about anything... a tired old vanity, wooden chair seats, drawer fronts, picture frames, keepsake boxes... you name it, I've done it!
