My most recent project-Harlequin Diamonds

Most of yall know I almost always have some crazy house project I am working on, and the majority of them usually involve paint. I had been wanting to do this since I got my kitchen painted this summer and was just waiting for my inspiration to start. Not bad at all for my first time!

This is my Butler's Pantry- that little area that connects my kitchen to my dining room. My kitchen is all red with the brown glaze fauxed over it so this makes a really nice transition. 

The first step was to measure and draw a grid to scale my diamonds. Then, was the taping. I taped all my diamonds and used an Exacto knife to trim my tape so I wouldn't have to paint and tape twice like you would in a traditional diamond paint job. 

Then came to the 2 coats of paint- red, then a chocolate brown oil glaze over the top and WALA! Gorgeous!
