Has anyone used Patterned Paint Rollers

13 years ago

I came across on etsy.com rollers that have patterns. A few of them are quite interesting. But reading the steps involved, I'm not so sure I want to tackle this kind of a project. Has anyone out there every tried painting a wall with a patterned roller.

My mother did, in 1960, on my bedroom walls. The rollers were wood. She painted the walls a deep, dusty pink, then she rolled them with a floral-patterned roller in white. I thought I was the peak of chic. I don't recall that she had any difficulty, but I was very young, so I'm not sure I would have known. The room stayed that way for three years.

I will be no help whatsoever but I must tell my story...
I wanted a very subtle pattern on my bedroom wall...I love Spring so I picked out a nice fresh looking green & yellow. My DH painted it and it came out looking kinda cottagey but the colors were not pale enough(my fault). I finally decided that it looked like a clown had been attacked in my bedroom. I did live with it for a long time...
Now the small bedroom is BM urban nature, a very relaxing green.

Maybe you are the same poster from the decorating forum, but a good point came up there. How do you roll the pattern out at corners, door or window openings, tight places. At some point the roller will not fit the area.

I've been wondering about these too. It's funny, because I can find no reviews from people who've actually used them. I think they're very cool and the gallery photos are great, but surely with all the decorating and DIY bloggers out there, someone has used and can review them????

I have never seen or heard of this.

I discovered them years ago but never worked up the courage to order. The site copyright still says 2003 but that could simply be a webmaster oversight.

I just think it's odd that I can't find one single actual real person reviewer online. The decorating blogs seem to review and share all kinds of things, you'd sure think this would be one of them.
