Ok, so the hall wall stencil is DONE! In case you're new to my blog, and have maybe missed a few of my previous posts. I have become slightly addicted to Rub n' Buff. This stuff seems to mainly be used for craft type projects but I saw a whole world of possibilities when I squeezed the first little blob from the tube. I've been trying it on EVERYTHING. I've said it before, and I'm gonna say it again... if you aren't familiar with Rub n' Buff (I wasn't only a few short months ago) it's a metallic wax that comes in a tube, and it's AWESOME! And no, I have not been coerced, poked, prodded, or bribed into saying so! Here is my new hallway/entryway before and after I Rubbed and Buffed it to death.
Before,
(boring, yawn, I feel ya!)
After
It's hard to capture it's true shine and sparkle in the pictures. I took pictures at a couple of different angles and with different light in the room so you could get a better feel for it.
I took this last picture before I was finished doing the room, but it's got good shine so here it is a again.
I'm not exactly sure at this point how I'm going to furnish the space, but I'm thinking... I'll keep it pretty sparse. I think the walls will do all the talking! I'll post a pic. when I've got it all figured out.
Oh and here's a tip if you're going to be jumping on the Rub n' Buff train. Wear latex gloves, and use a cloth to rub it on. I found that an old t-shirt works best. If you get this stuff under your nails, it's NOT pretty, and oooohhhh did I get this stuff under my nails! I just picture myself going into the manicurist and having a little conversation that goes something like this... Hmmm? No it's not dirt.... really.... I SWEAR... What... no... I do bathe...really... I do!! Not nice! But if you do get it under your nails a little paint thinner or ACETONE nail polish remover with a whole lot of rubbing will take it off.
I found the stencil online at Stencils-Decals
Smiles!
