A while back, before my son was born, I did a post on his nursery and thought I would share how I painted the stripes on his wall. They were easy and turned out great!
First I painted the entire wall a light pale blue in flat paint and let that dry. Then I measured off lines 9 inches apart and used a pencil to mark them across the entire wall. I then taped my lines. The key to keep the paint from bleeding is to first paint with a half dry paint brush along the taped line and let it dry for a few minutes before filling in the rest. This seals the lines off and keeps the paint from bleeding through.
For the stripes, I used a matte finish paint.
And there you have stripes! Try it!
Does anyone have a striped wall you would like to share? I would love to see it! Be sure to check back tomorrow for a pillow giveaway!
