Chevron wall mural by Jim Connelly

Step 1: Make a Chevron template using cardboard making a three repeat image. An 18 inch in depth chevron was designed for the scale of our wall. Draw chevron template onto cardboard and cut out with a utility knife.

            

Step 2: Measure from ceiling the base line for first chevron, using a spirit level repeat four times.

                   

 

Step 3: Tape off base lines to position chevron template on a straight line.

                  

 Step 4: Measure center line on wall and trace the chevrons using a pencil working from left to right.

Step 5: Remove base line tape.

 Step 6: Tape off chevron image and use plastic spatula to smooth down the tape to good adhesion to wall.

 

Step 7: Using small roller, tray and paint apply thin coat of paint let dry and apply second coat.

                           

Step 8: Remove blue tape.

                           

Step 9: VOILA!

When it comes to small spaces who couldn't use more storage?!
Custom built in shelving is more affordable then you think and utilizes the wasted cupboard space that you are given. It can be made to fit in any existing cupboard, cabinet or closet. And it is Canadian Made!!
