DIY Stripes for Nursery



This last week I decided to paint stripes on my little boy's nursery wall! It was quite the challenge. As I was perusing some DIY websites I saw the stripes design quite a few times and thought that it would be a piece of cake. Think again. As I stated in a previous post, I always pray before any cooking or DIY endeavor and alas, I didn't pray this time. I set out to measure and tape the lines for painting with out prayer and with out the help of my amazing husband. 
So I began...and three hours later my husband walked in and told me that the lines looked crooked. I couldn't believe it! After 3 hours of work I would need to start over. So after being humbled my wonderful husband saved the day and with his help, prayer, a measuring tape and chalk line we had the lines drawn and taped in less than an hour. :) 

The next morning I cleared the room and began to paint. The Lord helped me and a few hours later waalaahh! Stripes! It wasn't easy and it was definitely time consuming but, as with everything else in life, it was worth the effort! 

And now my little boy has the beginnings of a cool, modern room!
