Chair slip cover

Remember my post last week about the horizontal striped drapes for my bedroom? Well, I am almost done with them and I LOVE them! Can't wait to post pics of my work in progress.

Now for today, I have a few chairs that need covering and found these ideas that I'm trying to decide about.

I have a few table chairs that would be perfect for this project. 

This is the exact chair I have in my living room except it is dark blue- Definitely needs a make-over. 

This is such a cute idea! I am loving those charcoal chevron pillows. And the rug. I am going on a search for a tutorial on how to do this. I adore it. Next project after all the others I'm already in the middle of. :)

These pleats I think will be going on the blue chair.

DIY: Painting Stripes

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!
