....that's me! What did I get myself into with these stripes? I had a plan...a very well thought-out plan, and I still found a way to do things the hardest way possible.
Long story short: In an effort to not spend $20 more on white paint (I had enough for the white stripes, but not to coat the entire room) I went ahead and measured and taped my walls with just a coat of primer on them. Then I thought it would be a good idea to add just a touch of brown to my white paint to make it not so stark. Well, I spilled way more brown into my white paint than I meant to and ruined it.
SOOOO....not only did I have to spend more money on more paint, but I'm also going to be spending more time re-taping so I can paint my white stripes. I'm a DIY genius!
I just keep telling myself that I'm over half-way finished. Also, we didn't get to Ikea this weekend so I have plenty of time to get these walls done before I have to worry about moving any furniture in.
Plus, anything is an improvement when compared to the state of the room just a few weeks ago:
