The Next Phase of My Office and Fabric choices

<div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks back I mentioned how I was being color challenged in choosing a color for my office.

Although I consider myself a fairly decent painter, I am not sure that I agree with the skill level marked on the package. The package said that this was a "beginner" stencil, and because of the preciseness that was required for the design I think it might need to be reclassified.</span></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5peXkkfVcEC71TlreatGCdkzwR_LfZj8M-lOh3tOKXR-sgvaNC-kkJYynfv0eH-r9FwKYRnIqbjZ4A9dOLk2gblswpPV7p4rudrHYUG7BF7iBKP-g8vldhdYBaqnw26tKNAMP3brElmzO/s1600/IMG_1903.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5peXkkfVcEC71TlreatGCdkzwR_LfZj8M-lOh3tOKXR-sgvaNC-kkJYynfv0eH-r9FwKYRnIqbjZ4A9dOLk2gblswpPV7p4rudrHYUG7BF7iBKP-g8vldhdYBaqnw26tKNAMP3brElmzO/s640/IMG_1903.JPG" width="434" /></a></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finished!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgCFjkHKXabzUtbDPr_h-C3EUEVoKz9iUyCmBdsyM0Y8wyXEACimDcOZSaytt75MUZTU5tp8cPer0lVFvAvwnOebSOZajk0qX_BfZF5xaYmRcW0kn_1C93VArDchMAjiByvS1rvUC4PgJ/s1600/IMG_2054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxgCFjkHKXabzUtbDPr_h-C3EUEVoKz9iUyCmBdsyM0Y8wyXEACimDcOZSaytt75MUZTU5tp8cPer0lVFvAvwnOebSOZajk0qX_BfZF5xaYmRcW0kn_1C93VArDchMAjiByvS1rvUC4PgJ/s640/IMG_2054.JPG" width="434" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3psEP6GfO9aAAcbi4AOW6HIf_7oSVUQb_bwa5AzTkXkhUV1JfYGiq5xfpkH5mBqPaG-C5EJJ8X3MvnsufDriogdZPvOSPcQaXBTStDHy7D6cZYzU6uZ6m2BRcZlRaVDKhMgWAWxpt1m9/s1600/IMG_2050.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_3psEP6GfO9aAAcbi4AOW6HIf_7oSVUQb_bwa5AzTkXkhUV1JfYGiq5xfpkH5mBqPaG-C5EJJ8X3MvnsufDriogdZPvOSPcQaXBTStDHy7D6cZYzU6uZ6m2BRcZlRaVDKhMgWAWxpt1m9/s640/IMG_2050.JPG" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Overall, I am  pleased how the project turned out.  Using the gray  gives me more flexibility with introducing other colors in the room.

It is fun and gives the calmness of the gray a  real kick. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0z7iwteA9oGlzCH_q8rVXUAc3vhsVsGO3vcT-cDXoOtiqduxkaaQyDr4ieU_oPsGG0xPUIMbb_j4ONHFAx491MkCqOA_1_yLDs5JdbFxdNSYrrhGiBR7CIs1tXNe9fjf47gtq4jfqFBqb/s1600/IMG_1922.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0z7iwteA9oGlzCH_q8rVXUAc3vhsVsGO3vcT-cDXoOtiqduxkaaQyDr4ieU_oPsGG0xPUIMbb_j4ONHFAx491MkCqOA_1_yLDs5JdbFxdNSYrrhGiBR7CIs1tXNe9fjf47gtq4jfqFBqb/s640/IMG_1922.JPG" width="436" /></a></div><div class="separator" id="ssnoshadow" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I will use these fabrics to make a pillow, cover a lamp shade and make a slipcover for my desk chair.
