Stripes are done

Well, it took me all day on Tuesday to paint these darn stripes! We didn't have school because of the election so I thought I would get up and knock them out. I started around 9 and honestly beleived I would be done by 2 or so. Then I realized that the red was not going to cover in 2 coats, or 3 or 4. Yes, it took 5 coats of red to completely cover. The navy took 3 coats. . . I was finally done at 5. Once the tape came off I realized that with 5 coats of red there was a lot of bleeding (no pun intended) with the paint. I was literally in tears on Tuesday night when I realized how much touching up would need to be done. I decided to do a wall at a time and finally finished things up yesterday morning. So. . . .here is a sneak peak of the nursery with the bedding finally on the crib. (once the stripes were done I was so excited to see what it all looked like together, so I just had to put it on)





As you can see, it's really coming together! 15 weeks to go!
