How To Paint A Closet

Nothing like a little weekend chaos. Guess what we did this weekend? Here’s a hint:

Claras Closet3

And another hint:

Claras Closet4

And another hint:

Claras Closet5

And one last hint:

Claras Closet 2.2

Um yeah, all that house insanity was for this:

Claras Closet Clara Inside

Specifically, to paint Clara’s closet.

Claras Closets6

See, whilst standing on a chair in there hanging the little ribbon chandelier that I made last week (you know, right before John asked me how it was hanging), I decided it was high time we painted that little future-reading nook for the bean (we envision a big cushy beanbag and a ton of books in there for her to dive into). Isn’t it funny how one small project can snowball? One minute you’re standing on a chair hanging a ring o’ ribbons and the next minute you’re tossing a ton of stuff into the guest room, stashing shelves in the guest bathroom, setting up a pack & play in your bedroom (to allow for painting while Clara naps in there), and rolling back the ol’ nursery rug to keep it paint-free.

As you can see in the picture above and below, there are already some pretty sweet adjustable shelves for books and toys and all that hoopla when we turn this closet into a closet slash reading nook (Clara’s nursery was the former owners’ office, so the shelves were used for all of their paper and file storage- but it definitely works for board books and blocks too):

Claras Closet7

But it could definitely use some freshening up. Check out the grody baseboards:

Claras Closet9

And the hanging bar that appears to be gnawed on:

Claras Closet10

So out came those already white shelves with the silver brackets (and into the guest bathroom they went)…

Claras Closet 11.2

Claras Closet 12.2

… so I could paint all the trim and that hanging bar with some slick semi-gloss white paint (Olympic No-VOC paint in off-the-shelf-white).

It was already a huuuge improvement. John and I went back and forth about what color we should paint the inside of the closet. In our first house’s nursery, the walls were soft pear and the closet was a fun light aqua color along with the ceiling. And we loved that. But since we went with a soft gray-pink in this room we didn’t want to do the same blue closet and ceiling thing all over again. So we decided that we should try something with texture instead of a new color. Like a pink tone-on-tone stencil. That way it’ll feel connected to the nursery while having a little somethin’ extra in the pattern department – maybe even something subtly metallic. But nothing too loud or crazy since there’s a bright floral curtain that hangs at the closet entry as well as on the windows across the room.

Clara%27s Chair Corner

You know that fine line you walk between fun & playful and crazy & chaotic? Yeah, we figure if we have plans to add crown molding along with paint and possibly a stencil to the nursery ceiling we shouldn’t go too nutso on the closet – especially if it’s for quiet book reading/baby chillaxing. So for zero dollars and zero cents we opted to paint the closet the same soft gray-pink tone as the nursery walls (Proposal by Benjamin Moore color matched to Olympic No-VOC paint). Thankfully we still had some left from painting those walls back in December (<– cutest Clara pic ever in that post, bee tee dubs). But back to the painted closet. It’s a nice clean start.

Clara Closet Empty After

Even before it was dry I got into one of those moods (you know, when $herdog comes out and she decides to fly by the seat of her saggy gangsta pants). So I dragged the whole family to Ben Franklin (weekend family time = clearing rooms to paint, painting while the bean sleeps in a pack and play in your bedroom, hitting up the craft store) where I grabbed some 99 cent water-based metallic craft paint in pearl white and champagne (all the metallic paint at the paint store is $20+ and not quite VOC free yet- but this stuff should hold/wear as well as latex paint unless Clara takes a pressure washer or some sandpaper to it – and it’s a lot less fumey). I also grabbed a cute little $1 rubber stamper with a girlie medallion on it.

Claras Wall Supplies On Pla

Do you see where this is going?

I decided it might be cool to apply some sort of hand-stamped pattern to the wall with that rubber stamper instead of a traditional stencil so it looked kind of irregular and imperfect like handmade wallpaper. And I loved the idea of layering the soft champagne color over the light pink walls so it would be subtle enough not to take over the whole nursery or anything (I also grabbed the pearl white paint in case the champagne was a bust). I envisioned it being this little glittering magical world for Clara to duck into and get lost in a book.

So instead of focusing on how long hand stamping the entire closet would take I thought about how much Clara would love it. And crossed my fingers that it would work. Oh and it bears mentioning that John predicted that it would not work at all because rubber stampers are for paper & ink and not walls & craft paint. Who brought the killjoy to the craft store? I did. But I also had the inspiration with me (El Beano). So I walked out semi-confident in my spur-of-the-moment idea.

Clara Wall Painting Stamp

As for application, I learned by experimenting with some paper first that the best way to get the paint applied nice and evenly (and not too gloppily) was to lightly brush it onto the stamper with a paintbrush. I used a completely out-of-the-way corner that can’t be seen from the doorway of the closet for experimentation (it would also be covered in shelving and could be repainted with pink paint if all h-e-double-hockey-sticks broke loose and my little stamp method was a bust).

Claras Wall Empty Before

Behold, tiny champagne medallions:

Claras Wall Stamp On

I loved them but they were way too subtle and finely-detailed in person. It almost looked like someone with gold lipstick kissed the wall since you couldn’t quite make out the medallion shape (and from the side they looked kind of bumpy and odd). They actually photograph a lot better than they “read” in real life, which is a shame because I didn’t want John to be right. But alas, it wasn’t the right answer for the closet. So it was back to the drawing board. Literally.

Claras Wall Wiping Clean

That’s right, in a serendipitous turn of events I tried wiping down the still-wet paint with a wet paper towel and it lifted right out. Well, not right out. I had to put some muscle into it and really scrub, but it came out with a little elbow grease so I could start over. And I was mighty impressed with my painted-earlier-that-day wall for holding up to all the manhandling going on so soon after the paint went up.

And yes I did say “so I could start over” a few sentences back. That’s right. I wasn’t done with my crazy craft paint yet. This time I was wondering if I could freehand some sort of fun painted pattern with the same champagne paint (using a wider brush than the rubber stamp so it would hopefully be easier to make out and less detailed/muddled).

Claras Wall Paint On Plate

First I experimented with imperfect horizontal lines…

Claras Wall Stripes

… then I moved onto a bunch of x’s in a row (kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss)…

Claras Wall Xxxxs

… then I played around with some sweetly imperfect dots that I made by squishing the paint brush against the wall…

Claras Wall All Paint Tests

Before wiping anything away I called Killjoy John and Happy Happy Joy Joy Clara in for a consult. Clara wanted to kiss the x’s (I kid you not – I think the girl’s smarter than a fifth grader) and John and I both liked the horizontal stripes best. But we weren’t sold enough to slap them all over the walls quite yet. Sometimes holding back is hard for me, but it’s easier for John. He pointed out that we never regret thinking things through just a little bit before rushing in and doing something we might not love as much as something else in the long run. Especially when said project could potentially take five days and make you see stripes when you close your eyes for three more days after that. Bah, voice of reason = annoying, but right. Point taken.

So because I was incapable of getting off the stamped/painted/stenciled train, to the internet my fingers flew, where I found this cute stamp that I love. John is also (miraculously) down with it – maybe because I joked that it looked like wi-fi to him.

It reminds me of the scalloped fish-scale-like piñata that I made for the bean’s birthday. And since Royal Design Studio offers 10% off to YHLers (including us, haha) with the code YHL10, we’re definitely considering springing for this guy. Especially since we didn’t have to pay for wall paint since it was already on hand and we found metallic paint for $1 a tube at the craft store. I haven’t ordered the stencil just yet, but I’m definitely thinking about it. And now that the ribbon chandelier snowballed into a closet painting project, I guess I should mention that I’m also thinking about:

  • sewing a beanbag for the whole reading nook thing
  • papering or painting the shelves for a little more “happy surprise!” when Clara sneaks in there
  • maybe even finding a rug to soften up the floor?

Oh and speaking of the ribbon chandelier, I still haven’t ironed that guy (girl?) yet. Maybe I should add that to my bulleted list so I’m inspired to get ‘er done (you know I love to cross things off). Or not. Oddly enough, the windblown look is still doing it for me. I know, I’m a strange and mysterious creature.

Speaking of which, we only have one True Blood Season 3 DVD left (with two episodes on it) and we’re sad and excited all at the same time. Since I had fun with the Sookie sidechat on Friday I thought we could discuss teams. I’m Team Eric. Is anyone on the Bill trolley? What about that Alcide guy? I’d get on that before the Bill boat for sure, but Eric is definitely mah man. Oh and I forgot about Jason Stackhouse. He might be above Alcide for me. Hmm. Anyone else painting or stenciling a room? A closet? Let’s chat about home stuff or tv or something else entirely. Anything. Does that sound desperate? Sorry. I’m just a chatty lady who has been stuck in a closet all weekend…

    Ooohhhh, Eric. Sooo gorge. Plus, he doesn’t have that swampy accent that Bill has. “Sukeh.” — Blegh.

    Question on using stencils — I was totally on board to do this in my bathroom. I got all my gear in order, smacked the stencil up on the wall, giddily smeared paint over it, and pulled it off, jumping with excitement. -Pause-

    I realized that I couldn’t keep going becasue the solid edge of the stencil would overlap on the freshly applied stencil. Boo. So now I have a 14″ moroccan medallion looking thing in the middle of my bathroom wall.

    I’m not so great with projects that aren’t instant gratification. Am I missing something here? Do I really have to wait for each individual application of the stencil to dry before I do the one next to it? Any tips?

    Yours in Eric-schmoozing,
    Marian

      Hmm, never did one with that issue. We did one on our sunroom floor (here) that didn’t need to overlap, so maybe spacing them further apart works? Or staggering them? Or applying half of them (and then adding in the other half that will have to overlap between them after those dry? Not sure. Anyone know?

    Have you guys thought about drawing book outlines on the walls using the metallic paint? It might give it a fun library feel- which is always nice for a reading nook. As for True Blood, I haven’t gotten to season 3 yet (I’m still on the hold list at the library) but I’m definitely with you on the Eric thing.

    You NEED to make one of these!! http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/looking-for-hours-of-entertainment-meet.html

    I made them for my girls and one of their friends. They are the best – so much fun – for lounging, jumping on to, throwing etc. A blast. So easy to make too! The pattern is cheap – get awesome fabric from Ikea el cheapo, and the cover comes off to wash!! Couldn’t be more kid friendly. The patter is SUPER easy to follow too. you’ll feel like a sewing pro!! Just a disclaimer – the stuffing part…that is a 2 man job! :) Good luck! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

    How fun! I think it’s great when you (anyone, really) puts effort into the small things. And a closet is definitely a small thing.

    I have bookmarked directions for a cushy floor pillow that maybe you’ll like – it’s not a beanbag, but would be very easy to make. <>

    Knowing you, I’m sure you could find a way to “make it work” but right now I’m kind of agreeing with John on the freehand look. That stencil is cute (reminds me of rising suns) but would you do the entire closet? I think if it was me I’d only do the back wall, but maybe I’m just lazy!

    • YoungHouseLove says

      I think I would do it in sections so I don’t want to cry myself to sleep. Just one wall at a time in stages or something. If only Clara would nap longer. Haha.

    -ARGH- I was reading and all excited to get to the part where your stamp and metallic paint idea worked like a charm! I was already thinking of ways that I could incorporate something like that in my own world…bummer! It did photograph well though. Like the stencil you found and can’t wait to see the results!!!
    BTW…was there a Ren & Stimpy reference in that post?!

    How is it that even when your house is “chaotic”, it still looks freakin’ great?! Maybe Clara being adorbs had something to do with it.

    Since it’s a closet, I think I would probably do something crazy that I would probably regret in a more obvious room. How about tissue paper fish? I secretly want them in my grown-up closet. Because, really … I’m not a grown-up on the inside.

    I might be the only one, but I love the look of the different patterns stacked on the wall. I know it sounds like you want one pattern for the entire room, but I think it would be really fun to continue the stripes, Xs, and dots around the walls and then come up with some others and repeat those as you go up the wall. I’m sure whatever you decide to do will look awesome, though! I can’t wait to see it!

    I am definitely a fan of the potatoe stencil! That, or if you like the spongey look – try a plastic bag. With the shimmer of the paint you’re using, it might not be too overbearing, just a thought. I can’t wait to see what y’all decide though!

    As for True Blood, I love love love me some Jason. There is something just so terribly cute about how dumb he is!

    Oooh, go for the scalloped pattern! Gold over pink, it’ll look so glam! Like old wrapping paper.

    Just for a dorky side note, that particluar pattern is a Japanese pattern called “seigaiha” meaning overlapping waves, and it appears in alot of kimono and other Japanese textiles. It’s one of my favorites. I collect vintage kimono and have several pieces with that pattern.

    The stencil is cute, but I’m a BIG fan of free or cheap. I agree with some previous posters that you should experiment with some different types of stamps like potatoes, erasers, or sponges. Pinterest has a ton of great ideas, but I’m sure you’ve already looked there!

    My apologies if you’ve already answered this question, I did a quick scan of the previous comments and it doesn’t look like it so here goes… What are you guys going to do with Clara’s clothes and such once you turn the closet into a full fledged reading nook. Relocate to the dresser? What about when she’s older and things don’t necessarily all fit in the dresser?

    Reply

    • YoungHouseLove says

      See how much room is under her hanging clothes in the pic? We just wanted to make use of all that space (two Clara’s on top of each other wouldn’t touch those dresses, etc). So we figure it will always be a place to store clothes for her and can also be a reading nook for as long as she can squeeze in there! I hung out in my closet until about fifth or sixth grade when my clothes got too long so they started grazing my head while seated- but I think I outgrew the whole “hiding in the closet” thing then anyway. Haha.

    I love this! I did the same thing for my 9 year old. Her closet is tiny but she loves it! We covered the front with curtains from Ikea and in place of a beanbag (dust allergies) I bought a ladybug pouf from Ikea. It has an air pouf inside it so no dusty stuff, plus I can wash the cover. We did use a different color on the inside though-I liked having something a bit playful for her since that suits her to a tee. We added a little table and lamp as well, and I’ve thought about adding some wall decals, but haven’t made that happen yet. She adores it!

    You can see what I did here: http://www.thecentsiblelife.com/2011/03/how-to-make-a-reading-nook-in-a-closet/ (feel free to delete my link if that feels too spammy)

    I totally feel your pain about True Blood. I almost caved and bought the HBO subscription yesterday-I just can’t wait that long to see season 4!

    i love that color so much. i’d say maybe leave it as a blank canvas for clara to make into her own little world as she ages, like putting up her own photos and art and stuff that is special to her.

    or paint subtle polka dots! lol

    I love the stencil, but it seems more suited to a 16-year-old girl than a little bean like Clara. She might like a tall giraffe, with a dual purpose as a growth chart… Kids love a touch of whimsy. You guys are so good with the paint brush you can easily do something new as she grows up and has different tastes.

    But the stenciled wall will be lovely in any case.

    Perhaps you could make a tone-on-tone effect by choosing a slightly darker or slightly lighter version of the same color as the walls for the stenciling. You could even mix in some of the shimmery paint if you wanted to. That might help to bring out the pattern you select without making it any busier in the room. I can’t wait to see what you guys decide to do. What a great idea to turn a closet into a reading nook!!

    I like the bean bag idea! We’ve been looking for a bean bag for our little guy and I’m leaning towards making one. Also, if you have a flat iron, you could use that for ironing your ribbons. I’ve found the flat iron very handy for quick ironing of button up shirts for the little guy.

    I love the idea of making this space for Clara. I wish my daughter’s closet was like this. Her closet isn’t as deep in. Love the colors. I just bought paint for my little girl’s room and its very similar. Ours is Sentimental by Behr, I think. Now I am trying to find bedding ideas or color ideas to match it. I have an older/antique looking bed set that is basically just a walnut color. I want to redo that, I am not sure if I should just restain a different brown color, or paint it- any ideas? My daughter is 5.I just don’t want to do white and pink – you know?
    Regarding True Blood, isn’t season 3 great? I agree I do not see the appeal with Bill. Although, after reading some of the books, I think he is like that in the books too. I don’t remember him being dreamy or anything-only to Sookie. I am Team Eric too! He has personality and he’s fun in a bad way I guess! :) Jason is a cutie, and Alcide is too. I agree season 4 is great too, always full of surprises.

    Super fun closet for Clara! Can’t wait to see what you end up with. I’m waiting for my quatrefoil stencil to arrive in the mail. Going to start small and stencil a table top. If it works well, I’m thinking of a wall in our kitchen when we get to painting that. Your weekend sounds similar to ours. While Richard had quiet time and Sophie took a nap I removed the wallpaper in the hall bathroom and Rob worked on fixing the grout in our shower. Fun family times!

    I like the wi-fi stencil, but I think I’d go with shades of green for the closet. Clara should be a Lily Pulitzer girl wth a pink and green theme. It’s just so hapy. LOL!

    I just got done watching all 3 seasons of True Blood, too. Bill saying “Sook-ay” like Elvis is a trip! But I guess I like Alcide best for now. Eric and Bill are not doing anything for me. I hope Sookie meets a nice fairy and gets off the V indefinitely. ;) Jason Stackhouse reminded me of someone so much that it was becoming distracting. I finally realized it is a young George W. Bush. Check it! He could definitely play him in a movie some time! not that the world needs anymore W. movies, but I think the similarity is uncanny in the eyes.

    I know it is a classic, but you can also do a skyline on the bottom of the closet, since the closet itself will be full of clothes and books and other stuff, you won’t see the pattern as much. But the skyline will always peak through at the bottom.

    Don’t spend $32 on that stencil! You can make it for about $5 with an exacto knife and a sheet of quilting template plastic! They may sell the template plastic at Ben Franklin, if not, a quilt store should have it. You may be able to find other types of plastic that are thinner and would work better if you hunt around.

    Love the scallop stencil!! I would have LOVED a cool reading nook as a little girl. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

    I just stumbled upon your blog about a month ago and I cannot tell you how much I’ve enjoyed it! My husband and I just got married in May and are moving into a “fixer-upper” this weekend, so I have gotten loads of inspiration from your blog. We are tackling our wood paneled master bedroom this weekend and to be honest it scares me to death. Like, when I bought the supplies at Lowe’s this weekend I felt like I was going to pee my pants. I’ve read your post about painting the wood paneling in your dining room at least ten times. Fingers crossed!

    As for True Blood, Team Eric ALL. THE. WAY. Sarah B. took the words right out of my mouth. Eric IS the man. You’re going to love season 4!
    p.s. one of our friends got us season 3 on blu-ray as a wedding gift, how fun is that?!

    Vampire Diaries is another great show if you’re into the whole vampire thing. I thought it was a little hokey at first, but a few episodes in, I was hooked. Those Salvatore brothers are pretty great. :)

    The potential pattern you’ve chosen for stenciling is one of my favourites! It’s an old Chinese / Japanese pattern called seigaiha (self link: http://immortalgeisha.com/wiki/index.php?title=Seigaiha).

    Continue on with the fantastic and inspirational work! Your blog has helped me finally beat my post birth procrastination and get my posterior moving to organize/decorate our apartment. It’s a rental, so nothing -too- drastic can be done, but I’m enjoying finding creative ways to go about it!

    I know this all too well, projects snowballing out of control! I wanted to just replace our master bathroom mirror with 2 separate ones and when we took it down there was a problem with the drywall so we decided to patch it. That lead to us saying lets just tile and paint right now too, which has also lead to redoing the trim and the tile counters we had next to the tub. Needless to say something that could have had us out of our bathroom for 3 days has now had us out for 3 weeks! But its coming along and should be done by next weekend… and it added a lot of value to our house for only about $1000 for the entire thing (oh and the tile and stuff for the other bathroom we are just changing the floor out in).
    I love reading we aren’t the only ones that nuts!

    Have you though about painting on some animals or characters freehand, maybe in the bits you can’t see from the outside? Like a giraffe, dog, cat ect between each shelf, so there is a surprise.

      Forgot to say the animals would be in the same champagne paint so it was quite subtle .

    • ELT says

      A “cheater” option of freehanding is to use a projector of some sort. I’ve used everything from a slide projector to an overhead projector back in the day to the projectors they use for powerpoint presentations, etc now. Way easier than trying to transfer a stencil or freehand, although I admit, it depends on the project.

    Love the stencil. I am going to start turning my daughters closet into a reading nook also. Her room is only 8ft by 9ft so we use all the space we can get. oh and team Eric all the way!! Bill looks like my grandpa did in the 50’s, weird!!
