What did you do to make sure the stripes were straight. Did you use a level? Thank you, Beth Hi

And in our case we didn't hide the plug in cords, we purchased hardwired sconces so they never plugged in- but there may be a way to convert yours if they're plug ins and you'd prefer them to be hardwired. We would definitely recommend bringing them to a hardware store or a specialty lighting shop to see what they recommend. And congrats on finding such a deal! xo, s

However, they didn't come with any hardware pieces for attaching them to the wall. Do you have any ideas or suggestions for what I may be able to use to attach them to our wall? Also, how did you hid the plug-in cords? Thank you. Reagan (Lexington, KY) Hi Sherry,

One question for you, did you move your sink before you painted or did you use the special roller brush that you mentioned you used to get behind the toilet? Thanks much!

You could include the trim if you wanted to though- it's totally a personal preference thing. Hope it helps! xo, s

If so, when measuring for the individual stripes, did you begin measuring from the actual floor? Your small bathroom with the stripes is lovely - I hope it looks as nice in ours!

If you like subtle tone on tone spaces go for soft stripes and if you like a bold focal point go for the accent wall. Hope it helps! xo, s

My question is, we have a lot of furniture in our bedroom due to a recent addition of our little boy and I'm looking for a way to make the room look larger with paint. We just purchased a new duvet cover and I would like to paint our walls based on the colors in the duvet. It is mostly a soft green color with a large white block in the middle which is outlined in an espresso brown. Should I just paint one wall a dark color (like the wall our bed sits on) or try the stripes? My home is super small at 906sqft, which means my bedrooms are super small!
