Chevron Wall - Step by Step Tutorial

I recently painted a feature wall in my gift shoppe with a chevron pattern and it turned out beautifully! I took pictures along the way and have shared a step by step tutorial on my blog. I'd love to know what you think. Please keep in mind the decor is for a gift shoppe and not necessarily how I would style my home. http://www.inspiredbycharm.com/2012/02/mak...

Thanks Bernice! It is... I wanted the chevron to look like linen or burlap. It worked perfectly!

Michael, this is outstanding! I think it would also be a great feature wall in a home, with the right decor, of course. Love the texture of the chevron. It gives a high end look. Great job. (Wish I could take a peek in your gift shop, too)

Bold choice - fantastic execution. You took something that is trendy right now and gave it a look that won't be out-dated in 5 minutes. Really impressive.

Hi Again Michael: My first thought when I read your answer to Bernice about wanting to create a linen or burlap effect, was if you used a dry brush & cross-hatch technique, and when I finally got time to visit your blog I see that you did indeed!!!
I'm always amazed & intrigued by the effects that can be created just by manipulating certain tools & mixing paint colors!! I've used lots of unconventional means to achieve my objective but that's the fun of it!!!
