Half Bath Texture

I love, love, LOVE these painted horizontal stripes in this half bath from This Young House. The cream on cream, bold sections add the perfect amount of texture to an already gorgeously decorated space.

The horizontal stripes in this bathroom really surprised me- in a good way! I've only ever seen vertical stripes in smaller spaces in order to elongate the room, but wow, I adore the way this looks!

I'm curious to know - what's the most creative you have ever been when painting a space in your house? Bold color(s)? A mural?
