I love how a can of paint can instantly transform a space. Want to update a room but have a limited budget? Paint. And it’s easy peasy!
This wall in our dining room / kitchen got an update with a few coats of paint and fun DIY Quatrefoil Wall Stencil.
The color is Ground Nutmeg by Behr. I love it! It’s a rich orange that is far from being too “halloweeny”. What do you think of the mirror? We’ve had it forever. Paint it? I’m leaning towards buying a new one with a large brown framed border. Yes??
Here’s the before shot. The table {on the right} is also an oldie but a goodie. It has great bones and I’m in the process of giving it a really fun herringbone makeover. To the right of the post / pillar is our kitchen. I decided to continue the paint color on the far wall {around the sliding glass door} and into the kitchen {without the stencilling}.
I left my spring decor on the buffet. I like the blue / orange contrasting colors.
I painted the stenciled image using a glossy clear finish. It’s really cool. At some angles you can’t see the quatrefoil at all while at other angles it really pops!
So your thoughts on the mirror?
I’ll be posting our refinished table soon and hopefully a full dining room / kitchen reveal after that. Chat soon!
Wow! That looks great! Really, really love it! The gloss is the perfect way to add some fun without going overboard.

Hello. Beautiful Job! I was just wondering about the sheen of the base coat? Is it a flat, eggshell, satin? Thanks!
It’s a flat paint :)
Love your buffet? May I ask where you bought it?
What type of paint did you use for the clear gloss?
It is not paint – it is clear varathane :)
