Scalloped Closet Trim

I’ve been jonesing for a simple, quick project lately. The other night, I was laying in Aubrey’s room with her before bed and noticed that the wall where her closet is looked very plain. Eventually, we will be adding closet doors but not any time soon.

This project is so easy and turned out so cute. I cut a paper plate in half and used it as a stencil. Make sure you find the center of the opening (door jam, closet, window, etc) and start there. That way, it’ll be symmetrical on both sides. I made that mistake the first time and had to erase it and redo it. That’s why you start with a pencil!

Once you are happy with the outlines, use a craft brush to paint over the lines with whatever color you’d like. I used Violet Cache by Sherwin Williams.

Go back, fill in the half circles and paint the trim and that’s it! I had to do two coats but I am really happy with how it turned out. Eventually, we will add sliding mirror doors and when we do, they will be nicely framed with the scalloped edge.
