I was planning to do an accent wall with wallpaper but after dealing with hassles of discontinued and back ordered papers I'm thinking I might just paint a freehand pattern like this since I like it so much.

It...Chloe - technically, it's not a square. It's 22X 24. I measured two-inch lines in pencil all the way around the room, then went back and penciled in the black lines that run vertically from the top black line to the bottom. I found that it was easier to paint the top and bottom horizontal lines and those vertical lines first. As you're drawing the meander it helps to have something solid to reference. <br /><br />The thing to remember with this is that doesn't take any talent. There's no sense of scale or color or balance involved. It's measuring. All you need is the time and the want-to. I thought the time and effort of taping it off would be painful. I did buy a straight edge in case I wasn't as steady as I thought I would be - that would be another handy tool if you need a little reassurance. <br /><br />Good music helps.

I have attempted a similar project (hand painted a pattern projected by an over-head projector that shaked every time a bus went by, oy!) and know how deeply satisfying it is.
