I'm far from being done with the room. It still needs curtains, art on the walls (all though very minimal), and his big boy bed (which he is refusing to even consider).
However, when a paint job takes 3 weeks to complete it deserves to have a reveal all it's own!
Remember how I used this method for the stripes?
Well it's AWESOME! It 100 % works! There were very minor touch ups, but I'm convinced that it would have been a ton more had I not used this technique. I also used Edge lock painter's tape
which I think helped as well. But I know that it wasn't only the tape that gave such amazing results because when I went to do the touch ups I re-taped a few areas and did not use the above mentioned method and it was miserable. Leaking under the tape all over the place.
Without further ado let's see those stripes!

It is surprisingly very, very calm in that room. You wouldn't think so with all the color and pattern, but it just makes you happy to be in there.
It also makes for an extremely cute backdrop for some very wiggly boys!
That book shelf on the floor is going in the blue stripe between the chair rails right at Tennyson's shoulder height.
I think I am going to go with gray curtains....we shall see. Oh do you want to see a quick Before and after side by side? OK twist my arm.
Well....what do you think?

Those stripes are intense! I think it looks awesome! We did vertical stripes below the chair rail in the girls room. Love them!
Em! It turned out ah-maze-ing!!! I love the blue next to the orange at the top. You deserve a huge pat on the back for sticking through such an involved painting job. Three weeks? I'd never have survived it!
Looks cool Em! It is definitely a room of an amazing fabric designer.
Holy cow that is awesome! Only you could pull off something so cool!
You did such an amazing job! Won't it be so fun to wake up in the morning to look at it all over again? You did so good! Good job! Those pictures of your boys ate THE cutest!
Looks great Em, I'm glad you adore the blue stripe next to the orange. I don't think I could bare the thought of you hating your final results.
Fantstic! I'm glad you are happy with all your hard work. It looks very professional.
LOVE IT! The stripes turned out PERFECT and I am so glad you love the blue at the top I think it looks GREAT against the orange after all. So happy you completed this huge project. WAY TO GO MOM!!!
Good work, Em!! I'm glad it turned out so well for you!
