Painting with Stripes!!

Love the look of striping a wall with paint!  It adds interest and fun!

Our beach house on Cape Cod is small, so I needed to be careful about overwhelming a whole room (or wall) with stripes...BUT I decided to add some striped pizazz to our our daughters' closet....a trial run so to speak :)  I was pleased with the result.  So were my girls!

Striping is very easy!  Just make sure you measure precisely so that your stripes are equal width (unless you are doing multi-colored stripes that are different sizes).  Also, use a level to help ensure your stripes are straight.  Then, tape off the sides of the stripes (a little tedious because you have to make sure the tape is very straight!!) and then the easy part...paint!  Let your stripes dry and then repaeat the procedure with the second color of paint you have chosen.

The girl's room is sea coast blue with the trimwork in white.  I chose to use the same colors in the closet...BUT it would also be fun to use accent colors from their comforters or curtains :)

Of course, for those of you who know me, I couldn't stop at just one closet!!  Also striped the entryway coat closet (beige and white stripes - looks FAB!).  Next on the list???  The laundry room :)  Then I think I need to move on to another look - don't want to feel like we live in a jail!

HAPPY STRIPING!!
