The bathroom had some taupe dal tile and a stainless receptacle and that was the extent of the inspiration. The best idea was to bring in some fresh green with a bit of the organic. First, I started with a combing technique for texture. Below is a good close up of the texture that results from combing.
Next, I used a laser level to mark out my pattern with blue painters tape.
Then I made a circle stencil out of cardboard from the side of a box, nothing special needed. I penciled in all the circles on all walls. I chose a taupey brown to complement the tile and painted all the circles with the same details as I was going for a symmetrical wallpaper look.
Next, I cut out another stencil of uneven squares out of a file folder!After penciling them in I continues to paint the squares in the same taupey brown.I tried to make the same type of squares on each circles, devil is in the details.
Close up of the next detail-making a "Z" pattern inside the little squares.
The "Z" pattern was also applied in a uniform pattern
Another color was added in quick straight line and then once it dried I put another quick top coat of silver metallic over just the blue stripe for shimmer and interest.
Wow! I loved the combing technique. I was going to contact you to let you know I saw Brandy the hairdresser today and now have a very good haircut thanks to you.

I love the combing technique too. Great color combination.
