Every now and then we all get tired of waking up and staring at the same white block of space in front of us. For me, the first thing I see is more of a white blur but either way, I was tired of looking at it. I figured the outside of my closet should reflect the clothing inside - eclectic and colourful.
On a side note, the colour scheme for this project actually came from a prom dress I saw way back when. It was white with pastel colours running through it. I couldn't find a picture so you'll just have to use your imagination.
 |
| I started by sketching what I wanted so that I could see how the colours and angles worked best together. |
 | |
| These are the materials you'll need. I used acrylics because they're great on wood. You can choose colours that compliment and brighten your room. |
 |
| I used painting tape to lay out where I would paint...and added tabs for each colour. |
 |
| The overlapping parts can prove to be a little tricky, I put my tape on and then removed it after adding the stripe that would cross over on top of it. |
 |
| Two coats. I did one coat and let it dry then added another. You can see that the pink still needs some work. |
 |
| After removing the tape I was left with gaps that had to be filled in. |
 |
| I added tape (be sure to keep the tape on the same angle as the original strip) and covered the stripe with tape as well to avoid any overlap of colours. |
 |
| I only used one layer of paint for the gaps and it seemed to work out alright, just be sure not to spread your paint too thin. |

| The finished product. A simple way to brighten any space. Can be used any door or even a wall. I decided to leave the other door plain just because I didn't want the colours to be overwhelming. |
