Anyway, over Memorial Day weekend, I painted the bottom half of the wall.
And then applied the first part of the wall decal
I consulted AJ about the layout of two remaining penguins, and he suggested to put them on the left side. So I ordered another wall decal for the right side.
I want to put a penguin clock up and possibly hang a quilt on the lefthand side to take up some of the arctic sky, but for now, I'm done....until I search etsy.com again and find something else that I want to add!
I also have a crib bed skirt on order that I want to use iron on embellishments (from etsy.com) to have a custom penguin bed skirt!
Love this! Can I ask how you got the paint in such a straight line ? considering doing something like this but imagine mine would be wonky and it'd only annoy me forever!!
ReplyDeleteFirst, paint the lighter color a half inch above where you want the line to be (or below if the lighter color is on the top half of the wall). Then, I used a laser level and a 4' level to make a pencil line for the entire length of the wall, and taped right at the edge of the pencil line. Prior to painting the top half of the wall, I painted over the edge of the tape by paiting from midway on the tape and brushing up so it created a seal. I let this dry, then I painted the entire wall. As soon as the wall was done, I removed the tape, pulling it off the wall at a 45 degree angle.
