buh-bye stripes!

Remember these shots from about two years ago?!

The pain-staking stripes that I measured, taped, and mostly painted (with the help of my husband). 

Yep.  They’re gone!

We got new carpet for both bedrooms so we took it as a chance to freshen up the boys’ room and paint it back to just khaki. It feels SO good in there now… fresh paint! fresh carpet! I love it!

Thanks to Valspar paint with primer it only took ONE COAT!!  Thank you  to my husband who kicked me out of the painting job (even though it was low-VOC paint) just to play it safe.  And a BIG thank you to Grandpa Atkinson for driving to Indy to help us unload heavy furniture and then re-load it a few hours later.

The room still needs lots of finishing touches to make it ready for two little people instead of just this one…

But when it’s all done I’ll post some pics!  In the meantime, buh-bye stripes!  You were fun while you lasted!!
