Sweetheart's room make over

When we moved into our home Sweetheart's bedroom was pink with mauve paint below the chair rail. Her bedding that she had chose was grey and purple.

Pretty basic and pretty boring

She has two really large deep closets. We keep her dressers in there.

No personality!

Now her colors are pink, black, zebra print and gold. She fashioned her room after the Victoria Secret bag. of hot pink and pink striped bags with the Gold lettering and grommets.
For her 13th birthday she was given new bedding and some wall decals.
Her Aunt Gretchen and her family came to visit us, and we took over the project.


I taped off the walls. This picture shows my tape lines bowed! I had to go back with a chalk line. I had to mark a dot at the top of the wall and one at the bottom of the wall. Then remove the tape and re-align the tape so that the lines were PERFECTLY STRAIGHT AND EVEN!!! Tedious but worth it.


You will want to mark which one you will paint. We were keeping the light pink. So I marked every other stripe DARK. When you apply the painters tape be sure that you put your tape on the CORRECT side of the line. I wanted my dark stripes to be 10 inches. So, you will need to tape off, so that both of your painter strips, are on the outer edges of your dark stripe.

Finally ready to paint!!
