Here is a pick of the boring semi before, blue tape was already in progress

Here is the little picture we made up in windows paint to give us an idea of what we were going for.

And here is the after but not quite done....

And here is why it's not quite done.....see all the little seep spots? I have a quart of metallic silver paint and I'm debating on using a small brush and making silver stripes over all the seeps. My son thinks I should fill all the white in with silver but we'll have to see.

What do you think?
That looks so much like my big boys' quilt that I'm laughing! It even has the same smaller red stripe. I love it, love it, LOVE IT! You can see my boys' quilt here if you'd like ... http://katandgray.blogspot.com/2009/03/things-i-love-in-big-boys-room.html
ReplyDeleteWow! This is AWESOME! I can't imagine how much work this would be. I am in love with it though. I'm in the middle of decorating my boys rooms and this is an amazing idea. Yours looks lovely JUST as it is. ;)

What a wonderful transformation! I have been debating placing a striped wall in our home, but every time I get the courage to do it, my energy level isn't quite there (I am 7 months pregnant). After the baby arrives, I think this will be my next big project.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog! I really like the paint scheme that you picked out for all those stripes! I had the same problem too with the paint seeping out but I really like your idea about the silver stripes! I love what the Nester says - "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful".
