Sherwin-Williams offered to send me paint for one of my projects around the same time that we bought our piano (from Craigslist). So, I decided that it was a great time to give this whole wall a little facelift.

A Striped Foyer
by Emily A. Clark
I never know if I should call this space the foyer (that seems so formal), the entryway, or maybe now it’s the “piano room". Either way, it got striped.

Since I was working with a pretty traditional piano and front door, I thought bold stripes would be a good contrast.

I’ve been using their HGTV line but decided to try the Emerald paint this time around.

It was seriously the most odorless paint I’ve used, which was good because I was painting over the course of a couple of days right in the middle of the house with the kids running around*. (My husband even commented several times that he couldn’t smell it.) It also seemed to go on a little thicker. In fact, I only painted one coat of the white.

I also changed out the bird prints for botanicals (taken from an old book I found at the flea market last year) and sprayed the frames gold so they would stand out against the stripes.
