If you live in Chicago or are planning to visit make sure you go to Carnivale Restaurant......FAB food, GREAT atmosphere and TONS of inspiration! The designer Jerry Kleiner has kept classic bones with an infusion of color! See for yourself here http://jerrykleiner.com/. Below is a photo from Carnivale restaurant.....
Which was the inspiration for THIS project......this bathroom started out LIME green (which used to be my favey color BUT after seeing it splashed all over the bathroom walls, I have had a lil change of heart)
There was a lil boo-boo here from the doorknob hitting the wall......
SO all these elements combined were the PERFECT excuse to try out what I imagined was a similar paint technique to Carnivale.......
I simply dry brushed all the paint colors used in the rest of the house......accented the walls with "art" cut from magazines and framed (do you see how PERFECT the "prints" match the ceiling at Carnivale?).
I think the finished product is a FUN, UNEXPECTED something for your guests to ponder while in the loo kinda bathroom!
So the moral of this story is DON'T be AFRAID to try something new.....don't let fear hold you back - it's ONLY paint! And the other lesson - I L O V E Carnivale! I'd love to know if you've ever been there.....if so leave me a comment!

I love it!!! So artfully executed my dear!
This is so different and beautiful. You sure are brave! I would have stuck to the usual and 'boring'. This post is inspiring in several ways.
We have a link-up party going on - Tea Time Thursdays @ Kreative Korner. I would really appreciate if you'd link up some of your awesome posts there. Hope to see you at the party.
