So, basically, I have a hate/hate relationship with painting. Luckily, I have a wonderful husband who encourages my creativity and puts up with my ever-changing mind. He's the only reason I didn't completely lose my you-know-what when tackling our striped room.
Here was my inspiration:
(source)
I decided on one wall of stripes (to preserve my sanity) in one of our guest rooms. I started with a plan, piece of scrap paper, and Nordic Blue by Valspar.
I added a level and a meter stick to the mix. It didn't go so well at first-- then the vino started flowing, and I didn't care so much about straight lines. As I was marking/taping stripes, Mr. Willi was painting the boring walls.
Got the stripes taped, double checked to make sure I was keeping the correct pattern.
Had a little mishap with some visible pencil marks, but after a quick swipe with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, the room was done!
Please excuse the iPhone photos-- Nordic Blue is less blueberry shake, and more icy with gray undertones. Overall, I'm super happy {dare I say, impressed} with how this room turned out!
A few notes-to-self on this endeavor:
- Use a pencil with much lighter lead.
- Don't paint sample colors on a potential accent wall (had to repaint this wall white before I even got started).
- Don't let Amwilli paint near the ceiling, or in corners.
- Don't stress over stripes! It all looks straight enough in the end :)
Stay tuned-- more adventures in paint to come!
Impressive! I love it.
