  • Moroccan Girls Room: Loft and Star Pattern
  • The Fresh Coat team blends the loft into this girls bedroom design with paint and pattern techniques.
    From "Fresh Coat"
    episode DFCT-307


    Currently, the loft takes over the room that Julie Weisenberger would like to have a Moroccan flair for her daughters, so the Fresh Coat team strives to make it blend in to the design.

    They paint the panels underneath the loft with a crisp green to create the trellis pattern so common in Moroccan ceilings and walls. Then they use poster board squares to create star patterns in the panels in the same eggplant color used for the stencils.

    Materials:

    large container
    stir sticks
    BM0180 Beverly Hills
    BM546 Courtyard Green
    BM1399 Seduction
    water
    square brushes
    pencil
    measuring tape
    poster board
    scissors
    artist brushes

    1. Thin out paint by mixing half BM180 Beverly Hills and half water.
    2. Brush onto woodwork.
    3. Using BM546 Courtyard Green, paint the edges of the wood panels underneath loft.
    4. Cut out squares from poster board.
    5. Then cut out a hole in the center of the poster board in order to find corresponding center hole in the wood panel.
    6. Trace the squares onto wood.
    7. Using the small artist brushes, trace the pencil lines with BM 1399 Seduction.
