Because the existing wall color is a stripe, the tape should fill that wall color and leave the "to be painted" areas open. Hard to explain, but you can see a few more tutorials on my blog below:<br /><br />http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2013/07/seeing-stripes-in-dining-room.html<br /><br />http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-challenge-project-projects-boys_13.html<br /><br />xoxo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-89226808733200558392014-03-29T14:43:33.986-05:002014-03-29T14:43:33.986-05:00Thank you!

Their bedding is blue and lavender solid. And their bunk bed is a medium brown. One, do you think this color scheme on the walls would work? And, two, what color white did you paint the bed?

I also enjoyed the other post looking at their homeschool area....I am going to be homeschooling for the first time this fall and it was really helpful.<br /><br />By the way, we just repainted my son's room and you definitely influenced me. I decided to add a stripe around the room right above his chair rail. Never would have thought of that "pre-Jen!" It turned out GREAT. :0)Tamiehttp://www.thefivedays.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-13877379898176475902012-05-06T13:48:10.448-05:002012-05-06T13:48:10.448-05:00Thank you for the fast response.

I mentioned you in my very first post ( I hope you don't mind). I love the color of the stripes. I have had trouble thinking up a perfect shade of grey for my guest bath and I think the Ocean Pearl may be it! Colors are so hard to tell in pictures, but it looks like a soft grey. Did you use it on the little end table as well or is that the Ashwood color?WanderfullyLosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943611062218134081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-29497534933859546762012-04-08T21:30:56.532-05:002012-04-08T21:30:56.532-05:00Thanks Jen!!!

I'm considering getting a big chalkboard like the one in this room. Do you have any tips for hanging such a big piece, so that it stays stable while the kids are busy chalking it up?
