Quick DIY

I don't have much time today to blog.  Have a super duper busy day ahead. 

I am going to share a quick DIY I did last night.  In preparation (I am so massively excited about this) for painting my study on Saturday and sorting it out and making it pretty, I tested to see how I can jazz up my boring white floating shelves. 

I will have three of them up by the time my study reno is done, and I love that the don't have brackets and things sticking out.  But the boring white floating shelf is just that, boring.  

Q the washi tape .... 

The before and after:





I really like the effect it gives and for a total of 1 minute's work. (these pictures turned out very blurry for some reason, but it gives you a general idea of what is going on - Nice pics will posted of the entire space next week)  It is a definite win for me. I think this colour will work well with the wall colour I chose, but will have to see once it is up.  I also plan to jazz up the back of my book cases with some amazing pink wrapping paper I bought, so I might change the colour to work with that if this does not suit the room when the paint and bookcase are done. Lucky for me washi tape is such a easy on and off, and I have so much of it, my choices are endless!

I have bought the paint for the study and it is a minty green colour by MODA a brand which falls in with the DULUX family, which I adore, and I cant wait to see it on the walls...I tried to find a link to the colour but could not...you will have to wait and see it on the walls HA!
