Doesn't everyone paint trees on their walls?

We have been staring at builders beige for far too long at this point.

Just sayin.

We have been on the hunt for a stencil or a vinyl decal for our dining room/living room wall for months.  Even before we moved! We finally decided it was time to paint our own.  At this point you are wondering what the heck we did.  Us too.

I kid.  We actually love it! We have huge plans for that wall in about a year but for now? We have a tree.  And it rocks! Husband free handed it with painters tape and then we moved it around and changed a few things and ended up loving it.  Adds a cool look to the room without being too crazy.  I am loving our look we are going for in this house.

You could call it "I-stopped-caring-what-other-people-think-and-am-doing-what-we-love".  It is a good look! Feel free to copy it :)


Here is our tree! Forgive the mess in the background.  Was a busy weekend and the house is getting cleaned tomorrow...

The base and the start of the branches

It covers the entire wall! I wish you could see it in real life.  It looks so amazing! And yes.  It goes completely behind the TV as well.  The color is Pewter by Benjamin Moore and the wall (that is actually a little more blue) is Gray by Benjamin Moore.

Have you ever painted weird and random things in your house???
