making progress

Remember this??


It is now currently this:


My doubts about the stenciling are slowly going away and I am becoming smitten with the pattern.  I picked up some OOPS paint at Walmart (the beige color) last week and finally painted the room yesterday.  I did the first coat of my stenciling today during nap time.  I love looking through the door to the bathroom and seeing the pattern on the wall.  I think it looks better from far away and in the photo though.  Still need to do a LOT of touching up.  But I am so happy to have that pink gone.  It is tedious, but I kind of like tedious work at times.

Oh, and I don't think I am going to try painting a room by myself again.  The next room to paint is going to be the guest room or our main living area, but I think that will have to be done after the kids go to bed and Jeremy and I can do it together.  My arms are so sore!

  2. I love how it is coming along! I haven't ever tried a stencil because I thought they looked hard, but you make it sound easy and fun, (and maybe a bit tedious) :).
