PrairieMom wrote: It was my project for last weekend to paint the Boy's new bed room. It took me until tonight, but I finally got it done! We are going to move him in tomorrow! He is so excited.

It was hard work, so I had to brag a little!






The stripes are only on one wall, (Thankfully) the rest is all tan and blue.

huggybugboy replied: Wow! It looks great! Great job on the stripes!! I've painted stripes before and they did not come out nearly as good as yours! Whats your secret?

kayla's mama replied: Wow, thats nice Hope he enjoys his new room.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Wow that's awesome - when I first saw the stripes I thought it was wallpaper. You did a great job!

CantWait replied: WOW it looks great. Hope he enjoys

PrairieMom replied:
I just taped them off. I have no idea why it worked, it has never worked before. I also used a sponde brush and put on real thin coats of paint, I think that helped so the paint wouldn't bleed under the tape. The bule stripe has 3 coats and the red has 5. It took be nearly 12 hours of taping and 3 rolls of tape to get all the stripes done. There are also real thin tan lines inbetween the red and blue that you can barely see.
Wall paper would have been so much easier, but I wanted the pattern to match his quilt.

I am NEVER painting over them, so I hope The Boy likes them well enough to last him until college!

A&A'smommy replied: WOW its SO cute!!!

C&K*s Mommie replied: That looks great, Tara. Is that a window behind/above the striped wall??

PrairieMom replied:
yeah. The ledge is actually pretty wide, I hope the Boy doesn't learn how to escape!

The window is all the way to the left of the room. It really bothers me that it isn't centered on the wall.
