Tim sent us some pictures of his amazingly ambitious do-it-yourself graphic paint job in his hallway (and we're totally envious!):
Hi, I just completed this painted wall mural and wanted to share. I measured and drew it out by hand and then slowly added the three colors: black is flat, green is egg shell and the off white is semi gloss. Attached are just a couple of quick photos of the hallway complete...


Thanks for sharing Tim! What's your story? Email us at newyork @ apartmenttherapy.com


White Enamel Flatwa...
Wow - I thought that was vintage wallpaper!
its very cool, but it makes me incredibly dizzy!
It looks great! I don't think that I would have the patience for that. I'd get through one row of painting and my partner would have to finish!
gorgeous. impressive.
very cool, you must be a patient person or a crafty taper!
I am totally amazed by the precision. More details of the story, please. Did you freehand, stencil, tape? How long did you work on it? What was your inspiration? Gee, I ask a lot of questions, don't I?
(i love)
he's sorta like a curtis jr.

This really looks great. Well done.
*Covet!*
Wow - I can never get my tape lines that crisp. You have the patience of a saint.
Wow, you did that by hand, how long did that take, you have tons of patience. If I can't do something in 15 minutes.....great job!
This is so cool. I too am wondering how he achieved such crisp and clean lines - what is the secret?
amazing!
GRADE A!!! nice color palette.
I LOVE this.
Can you give me more information about the bottom half of the wall? The house I'm living in has a "not that nice" wood wainscoting and I need to do something to it!
"Can you give me more information about the bottom half of the wall?"
That's Anaglyptic wallpaper...
It took me about a month form start to finish, working on it in my spare time.
I first painted the back wall the same color as the wainscoting (semi gloss) then began measuring and drawing the pattern with a straight edge-first drawing out a grid as a guide for the diamond pattern.
There was no pattern or stencil.
As for painting the diamonds-I ended up using painters tape (which I almost never use) to mask out each color for a cleaner, crisper final finish.
Yeah, Tim!! It looks great!
wow. fantastic!
This is crazy beautiful.
