Weāre always on the lookout for brands that share ParachuteāsĀ commitment to safe and responsible manufacturing ā especially when it comes to the home. Thatās how weĀ discoveredĀ Colorhouse, purveyors of premium paints that are low odor and Greenwise certified. Inspired by the look and texture ofĀ ourĀ QuiltĀ in indigo, the team at Colorhouse mastermindedĀ a patchwork wall, evoking the comfort and classic cool of blueĀ jeans.
ColorhouseĀ shared their simple and fun denim wall instructions, with a stop motion video ofĀ the process.Ā So clear your Sunday and bust out your painterās pants, becauseĀ this is your next DIY homeĀ project.
Step 1. Painting Patches
Step 1. Painting Patches
Paint a base coat of WOOL .06. Let dry. Using the level, draw your own unique patchwork pattern of overlapping squares. (Tip: We used paint chips to help us map out which colors we wanted where.) Using the roller, paint out the squares in varying shades of blue ā WATER .04 and WATER .03 ā and let dry.
Step 2. Glaze Finish
Step 2. Glaze Finish
In a separate container, combine WATER .04 paint and actual water in equal amounts. This will become your glaze. Using one of the large paint brushes, dip into the glaze and make sweeping motions across the wall. Use the dry brush to feather the glaze so that the brushstrokes are not visible.Ā Keep going until the wall is completely covered. If there are areas that have too much paint on them, take a rag and blot. Use your dry brush to soften the edges.
Step 3. Style the Room
It's time to finish the look. We chose a dark finished headboard and nightstand fromĀ The Joinery's Nehalem collectionĀ as a strong contrast against the patchwork background. To create balanceĀ and increase the cozy factor, we added textural interest via Macrame art byĀ Holly Mueller HomeĀ and the essential Quilt in indigo. Finish it off with a few personal touches like a good book, aĀ charming owl tileĀ and anĀ air plant. Then step back and admire your cool faded denimĀ wall. There's a reason jeans never go out of style.
