I finished telling you about how we taped off the wall of stripes, here are the pictures to help with my crazy explanations...
 |
| Husbands helping hand with his combination square..You can see the middle stripe with the pencil line all the way up the wall. |
 |
| Pencil lines done! |
 |
| Tape is in place!! Woohoo! |
Measureing and taping took a total of 4-5 hours to complete, and about as many drinks. But once it was complete it was cool to see how our planning had paid off. I then took the base color and painted over the edges of the tape on the bolder accent color to help from bleeding under and messing up our crisp lines. I also was talked into buying the more expensive tape from teh Lowe's man because it supposedly did not let paint bleed under, BUT after him not being right on about how much paint I needed I wasn't taking any chances. So painted tape it was.
Now that that was dry it was time to start the accent color!! Exciting!!! I carefully reminded myself which stripe was what color (every other, duh!) and got to painting.

| Nice head shot, dear!! :) |
 |
| 2nd coat on! |
With the 2nd coat on and still a it wet we started
carefully pulling off the tape.. I am pretty sure I was holding my breath! Drum roll please....................
 |
| I look like hell, but was pretty amazed that it all actually worked!!!!!!!! Yea Baby!!!! |
 |
| I absolutely love how the stripes are just barely different, I think it makes a subtle but needed statement |
Finished product that I would have died for as a little girl, and think she likes it too...What do you think!?!?!?!
