My occasionally weird life in France
As if the house were not going slowly enough, I have been giving more thought than may be healthy to this stencil pattern, which I saw in a church in Budapest not long ago. They put it in a relatively small area and I have for some reason been wanting to tart up the WC. On the down side, well, let’s face it, stencils, no sane person does that any more. Is there an up side? Even if I scale back the colors?

I like that
Me, well I am doing a very little judiciously placed stencilling, but then I am no sane person.
If it suits, then stuff the trends, that’s my mantra now

Would you keep bright colors — not that these are crazy bright — or fade them out?

I like the colours on the image you posted actually.
You could always soften them after if they don’t work in situ; easier than trying to brighten them if too subtle.
Personally I am rebelling a little against acres of greige everywhere…the kitchen will be greigeish but the salon will be warmer shades.

Go for it. Have some fun. And then paint over it if it really looks dreadful. You’ll either love it or laugh at it

Maybe I’ll just chicken out and put in wallpaper… Mostly I figure I have too much time to think while I wait to get on with the business of actually living in the house.

I love it. And yes, lots of work.

Maybe the WC should have a usage fee. What do you think? One color and three patterns? In a few years it would all be done!
