Try It Tuesday – Sharpie Wallpaper

Have you seen what the Nester can do with a Sharpie?  Or Mandi from Vintage Revivals?  They are like the McGiver’s of home decor and DIY.  It’s amazing!  So I got to thinking….. why can’t I be that amazing?  Well, because I’m not them.  I saw their amazing Sharpie wallpaper.  And I thought I could do it too.  So this Try it Tuesday is Sharpie wallpaper.

And it was a fail!  Major FAIL!  But from all failures come an opportunity.  An opportunity to make something great.  (Which I will do in another post.)

First of all, here is the Nester’s wallpaper.  It looks like a planked wall, huh?

And here is the Sharpie wallpaper from Vintage Revivals.  Unbelievable!

This is mine.  Not so hot.  I thought a silver Sharpie would look so good!  A little shine on that sage green paint.

I hated it.  That’s why I didn’t even finish.  The silver Sharpie on the sage paint just looked too dark.  And it wasn’t shiny at all.  But I tried it.  I will figure it out.  Stay tuned for what I come up with!
