The time has finally come!!! I have started to paint Liam’s room!!! YAAAYY!!! It was a little intimidating at first, we are using 4 colors, 2 of which will be a large stripe with a smaller stripe in the middle!! I started this process by telling myself it wasn’t going to get done in one day. It will be a process, and I will need to “go with the flow”…SO on Saturday I started with the first stripe! it took forever, but once I let go of perfection, and relaxed, I eased into it!! The orange is actually going to be the pin stripe, but I think it will be easiest to tape it off and point over the whole thing with the light blue!!
I chose the colors based on his bedding ( from Ikea) and this was my initial thought ( above picture) then I added the aqua blue that you see at the bottom of this bedding. SO the coloring will be: Dark blue on Bottom of wall, 6″ stripe of Light aqua with a 1″ stripe of Orange, then Green above.
I am only on the 1: stripe right now, and its taking forever! but I cant wait to show you when its finished!
In this pic, you can see the orange stripe, but more importantly….the SWEET SCORE i got from “thrifting” in my neighborhood!! $13 for that little table!! I will be sanding and painting it with high gloss paint..but I am waiting until the room is done, to see what color I need more of!! Stay Tuned!! hopefully by next week I will have some progress 😉
*Just added this…Aqua stripe done! Hoping to peel away 1″ painters tape strip in the middle to reveal beautiful Orange 🙂
***Another addition! Love how the stripe turned out!
**Another Update…Loving it all around!!
Happy Monday!
