We've never met a house before that made us want to turn around and paint our own more than these inspirational pics. We're not kidding. We have leftover paint from previous painting projects and were seriously considering it yesterday (but then life happened--sigh). We've included more of Rachel Singleton's bold stripes after the jump.
Her walls were already painted "Blonde" when they decided to take an old paint can to Lowe's where they could match the paint (and then tone it down 25%) for the alternating stripe color. They also made the new and improved "Blonde" paint a semi-gloss, so the stripes could really standout.

Loving the horizontal stripes in the hall and on the draperies!

If you try this, pick up some Frog Tape from the hardware store. It's painters tape with a better bond so you get very little bleeding along your tape lines. Good for the textured walls so common in the west and in new construction!

Love the stripes and the T&T poster. I have the same one up in my office. T&T rocks!
