Ghost Stripes

Ok, so I have a huge long wall in the back of my house which you can see as soon as you come in the front door (i have an open layout floor plan), and i have been dying to spice it up somehow. So i have been seeing stripes lately in home magazines and Pinterest, so i decided to give it a shot. In my mind i had visioned large horizontal stripes in a color that was pretty close to what was already up there but in a glossy since what is on there is flat. I wanted the stripes to be subtle, but eye catching at the same time. So, i made a trip to Lowes (my absolute favorite store, would rather have a shopping spree there over any shoe or clothing store!!). I swear every time i go in that store i feel like i have ADD or something and my mind goes crazy with all kinds of ideas.  I came home with about 20 paint swatches to try and match the color of my walls, and out of those 20 only 1 did!! So, Flax it was....



Lowes is awesome!!
