I have been trying to decide how to paint the nursery for several months and finally decided that I wanted to paint a Chevron wall. I knew that Alan and I wouldn't be able to do this project on our own so I recruited my dad to help us. I think my dad was hoping and praying I would change my mind because he knew how much work it would be. However, I had my mind set and there was no turning back! My dad made the trek up to Pocatello last weekend to help us with the project.
Alan and my dad spent one full night doing calculations and making a blueprint of the design. I can't imagine how tired they must have been because my brain hurt just listening to them!
We made a "sacred" pattern that turned out to be a lifesaver!
The taping alone literally took us 9 hours. Although I am not in any of these pictures I did paint every edge of tape to make sure it was sealed before we started painting with the grey. Oh, and I provided lots of moral support and made sure the men were well fed and hydrated!
We were a bit nervous to pull off the tape and expected to have a lot of touch ups. However, I now swear by Frog Tape and seriously want to do a testimonial for the company! That stuff is amazing!
And now for the finished product...
More pictures to come when the nursery is complete!
