Nursery Room!

Debbie, Savana and I got together yesterday and worked all day on this wall.

It all started with inspiration of this website: http://projectnursery.com/2010/08/hip-to-be-square-revisited/


I then picked out 4 colors from the firefighter sheets we got.


Arranged them in a grid pattern that appears random but actually took 3 hours. Next, I made all my measurements and then waited for my backup to arrive. We went out got the paint and started taping!

and more tape!


Then we started painting.




It only took about 3 coats for each color, but it went fast with 3 people.


Finished product with the tape.


I was so nervous about taking off the tape, so John helped me and started the first piece.


There are a couple of touch up spots but overall I think it looks great don't you?


John says it looks professional and that made me smile. 

I plan on doing the rest of the room in the tan color.

  1. SHUT UP!! I LOVE IT! I want a house where I can paint on walls and put together my baby's nursery! The colors are beautiful Kayla! And I can't get over how cute the fire engine sheets are :) And those lines really do look great. A few touch up spots are to be expected, it really does look fantastic. I'm totally jealous. I cannot wait to see the whole nursery put together! And i laughed when you said you didn't wanna ruin the surprise :) I would have been the same way! :) lol
