Onto the Next Project!

I started my next project! And I LOVE it! Love, love, L-O-V-E! Of course, it was Pinterest inspired! And actually quite easy and best of all... FREE! I had everything I needed. JDC provided everything I needed! A tutorial, the template, all I needed was cardboard, a pencil, white paint (leftover from our whole house re-paint), and a paintbrush. So, here's the run-down and the final reveal at the end.

Did I say that I love it?! Can you tell I am excited?

We have this huge wall behind our TV. I have been contemplating what we should do with it for the last couple of years. Wallpaper? Stripes? Well... thank you Pinterest! Painted wallpaper is the answer!

My stencil. While this project was for free, it was not without some effort.

Start tracing... and tracing... and tracing! This took a couple of days to actually complete.

Thankfully the kids all took naps and I was able to finish the stenciling and start painting!

I wanted to take pictures step-by-step.

Here's what it looks like close-up.

So it's not perfect as you can see. You can see pencil lines which I still need to figure out how to remove them.

I tried to get a picture of myself painting. This will have to do.

Just keep painting and painting and painting!

I actually got this far during nap!

I was surprised that the kids were well behaved enough for me to continue my project after bath. They just watched some show and the baby crawled around.

The finished project! And yes, I was up on that ladder to get WAY up there!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
