As a new homeowner, it didn't take long to get bitten by the DIY bug. My knew motto is: "Pinterest made me do it." With so many awesome ideas out there, I just have to try some of them. My first one is a diamond accent wall in our bedroom. I read a couple blogs to figure out "best practices." I learned diamonds should be twice at tall as they are wide. Mine are 24 inches by 12 inches. I also learned you need patience, which is funny because I have very little. Shortly after taping the first diamond just to get a feel for the look, I questioned whether I was really going to take the time to do this. After 10 seconds of contemplation, I re-committed myself. If the wall looks terrible, all I have to do is paint over it to make it a solid accent wall. If I pull this off, I think I deserve my own TV show.
I finished the measuring but need to get back to taping. I'll keep you posted with my progress!
