I am going to do it again.
Just give you a peek into the progress of my youngest daughter's room. The stripes are done!
Not without some frustrating moments and with buckets of patience. All you commenters were right, stripes are a challenge.

I went about it not rushing and taking my time. I can see my mistakes {thanks to the hubby for pointing them out - er - next time darling - you are helping} but in the end it was just what I envisioned.
Don't you love it when the vision you have in your head unfolds before your eyes! Exciting.
So here is a peek at the walls.
Just in case you want to know: The base coat was painted White Dove {Benjamin Moore} and Black Bean Soup {Benjamin Moore} but I get my paint colour matched at Home Depot in Behr paint. I have found the Benjamin Moore Aura paint doesn't hold up over time.
Another peek. I had fun with rub'n'buff!
Have you ever used the stuff?
Love it!
Hope you had a fabulous weekend.
Mine was busy and full of fun, the highlight was attending the Taylor Swift concert with my youngest daughter and friend. It was such an amazing concert!

Wow!!! I looooooved this. Those lines look so perfect. You're daughter is one lucky lady :) Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThose stripes look amazing, can't say I'd have the courage to take this project on - looking forward to the big reveal!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun space, can't wait to see it all!
ReplyDeleteLooks Great Barbara! I haven't been able to commit to strips ever, but I would be willing to some day! I had a client that wanted to paint lots of different stripes, but she got scared about how much work it would be. It all depends on the stripes and I think you have picked a great amount to start with. They look great. Can't wait to see the room.
