Painting the Nursery - Check!


Step 1:
Measuring and Taping



Step 2:
Painting around the tape with Chocolate brown to form a seal so the white wouldn't leak through the air pockets due to the textured walls, letting it dry, then painting the white between the tape.


Step 3:
Close your eyes and rip the tape off....pray that it turned out ok! (Thankfully and luckily it did!!)

Scott and I were able to start and finish painting the nursery this weekend! It turned out fabulous! Those stripes had us worried since we have textured walls, but the lines turned out very sharp and professional looking! The trick was to use Scotch Blue(R) Painter's Tape" from 3M! ;-) We also used a laser level to make sure the lines were perfectly straight. This project took up about 25 hours of our weekend (taping took the longest!)...but our little boy now has the coolest room in the house!!! Oh - and don't worry, I double checked and was ok for me to paint - just had to make sure the room was well ventilated! ;-)
