diy wall art: the wall is the art

I first saw this idea implemented as a headboard in Domino magazine a few years back: a repeating stencil was painted on the wall directly behind the bed, then framed with simple painted moldings. This version of the idea from the Do It Yourself site has you stencil a small area on the wall, then frame it with a backless frame. Check out the project here, along with 29 other easy, inexpensive ideas for gussying up your walls. –Erica P.

I did a job last spring for a coffee shop (I’m an illustrator,) and the art director did almost the same thing. They came out really nice.

For some reason I’ve never considered trying it at home…until now of course:)
