my 17 year old took matters into her own hands and informed me that we were finally going to paint the stripes on little man's wall two saturdays ago (the saturday after pageant ended - more on pageant to come). i had originally planned to make these stripes vertical, but after separate input from both gloria and traci (who both have amazing decorating sense) i realized that horizontal would look great (and be much easier - yay!).
back in february brock and i had painted his walls blue, added the vinyl letters and maps, and hung the roman blinds (the blinds were all brock). the cans of paint for the stripes have been waiting in his room since we moved in a year ago, and the painting supplies have been waiting since february.
his room still needs so finishing touches, including the quilt i have cut out (shhh, don't tell him, it will hopefully get done in time for christmas).

so cute. I love the bright colors. I just love blue for bedrooms. Eliza chose the same shade of blue for her bedroom and we just love it. The stripes you added create the perfect pop of color.

I am a fan of this and not the Beatles. I was on a friend's blog and she had a picture from a magazine of a cute kitchen. Professional. And this picture looks like it. You know... professional. It looks like it is out of a magazine. I hope he loves it to death. good job!

Looks great. Go Lex. I can just see little Noah in there, playing and being cute.

I've tried painting lines around the room in the past and had a horrible time, I could never get them straight. I ended up calling a professional in to handle it before I pulled all my hair out. Bravo to you though for doing it, it looks great.

A lot of people choose red as their favorite color. Well, it IS the most intense color, and it draws attention. Anyone who's sees the first picture would definitely look at the curtains first, don't you agree? Oh, the stripes look good, by the way.
