Gold Striped Feature Wall

We moved the girls’ bedrooms around a few months ago and it has felt like we’ve been in transition for way too long. I’ve been really wanting to create special rooms for each of them. I’ve taken notes on what ideas each of them has had for their rooms and when Madeline said “shiny,” I knew exactly what we were going to do. I’ve been eyeing the Modern Masters Metallic Paint Collection for a while now, and this gave me the perfect excuse to try it out. I love a striped wall, so what better way to create a fun room than by painting a Gold Striped Feature Wall with Modern Masters Metallic Paint?!

We wanted the stripes to alternate between thick and thin, but have the same distance between them. We wanted about a 9″ wide stripe and 3″ thin stripe. The wall is 112″ wide, so halfway would be 56″. We wanted the stripes to be centered, so once we found the center, we marked it so it hit a wide stripe in the middle, so the stripe had 4.5″ on either side of the center of the wall.

Still with me?
We wanted a roughly 3/6/9 ratio, so we plotted out the points until we reached the end of the wall. Our original measurements had us hitting the end of the wall at an awkward stripe size, so we pulled the spacers down half an inch and it fit perfectly.
Width of each stripe:
4.5 5.5 3 5.5 9 5.5 3 5.5 9 5.5
Measuring as we went until we reached 56:
4.5 10 13 18.5 27.5 33 36 41.5 50.5 56

Once the stripes were measured out, the fun part started. We chose Pharaoh’s Gold, and WOW is it ever a gorgeous color!! It was a breeze to use, especially with the Metallic Paint Roller Cover. We added in Metallic Paint Extender and never had an issue with lapping or uneven coverage due to drying.

The shimmer from this paint is just amazing. It looks almost like gold leaf. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited to pull tape off of a wall as I was when I stepped back and saw it shining in the sunlight.

I want to try out all the different colors Modern Masters offers now! The gold surpassed anything I imagined and now Madeline has a unique and fun Gold Striped Feature Wall to enjoy. I love that it’s a look that will grow with her, too.

I really can’t say enough about it. This wall makes me incredibly happy and was easy to paint. Madeline oohs and aahs over it and has talked about her gold wall to her school friends. If you want a fun feature wall, I can’t recommend using Modern Masters enough. You already know I love their front door paint, but now you can add their metallic paint collection to the list!

Now, please excuse me while I go curl up in Madeline’s bed and stare at the shimmery goodness!

    I love this! Her room is so cute, I would’ve loved it as a kid. I’m getting ready to rip the wallpaper off in my entry and I want a bold entry wall. I was going to wallpaper just the one wall, but my husband does not want any new wallpaper coming in 🙂 THIS would be a great alternative.

    You did a great job painting the room with the metallic paint. I love the sense of style and fun in the room, but it’s not overwhelmingly childish. Nice job. Visiting from the #HomeMattersParty
