Look what I did!!!!!




Ok so I kind of have a minor issue with starting little projects and they turn out bigger and grander than I plan on. The latest is no exception. I needed to paint the girls' bedroom. Now I've had the paint for a few months I just was having trouble actually getting it done. I finally decided this was the week. The original idea was lavender walls, white trim and one accent wall with pale pink harlequin style diamonds. Pretty, classy and fairly simple. My pink turned out to be a little brighter than I had intended so I was trying to figure out how to still use it yet tone it down. I still wanted to do something fun, yet original. Long story short I decided to create a plaid wall. I couldn't find a pattern so I just made one up as I was taping and hoped for the best. It turned out way cuter than even I anticipated. When the girls saw it this morning they declared it to be the coolest wall ever. Once I get the room put back together I'll post pictures of everything. Including the new window seat and finished bookshelves. But here is the wall with Emily, Adrianna and Adam this morning.I even managed to go around the door. Oops looks like I need to put the smoke detector back up.

Wow!!! I am constantly amazed by your talents, and especially by the amount of patience it had to take to tape that whole wall! It is FABULOUS!!!!!

Seriously why did the creativity gene just skip over me. Next time you're here can you paint Parker a plaid wall?

You are totally amazing!! Kelly said, "I wonder how much tape she used. It had to be like 10 rolls" I had to explain to him that you have always been just like our father and stuff like this comes easily and natural. Unlike like the some of us who would consider it a large pain the %@# and it wouldn't look so good when finished.

Amen Jesse!

Cali.... You may think you are weak on the "creativity" gene, but God gave you a double dose of that "organize it and get done" Gene.

OH yeah, and she told me the only thing she taped was the long white and Lavender stripes. The little stripes she did freehand. Sheese!

actually I only used 2 1/2 rolls of tape and i did freehand the little stripes, but the outsides of them were taped so i could stay on pattern
