Stripe It Up

Our guest bedroom has gone through several transitions since we moved into the house in 2008. It first looked like this:

And then I 'traditionalized' it up with some gold tones and Ralph Lauren:

But now, I have transformed it into the most beautiful thing in the world. More beautiful than models, children, stuffed animals...and all those things combined.


Taping perfectly straight lines: 10 hours
Painting with Shane who whined about painting: 3 hours
Having raw, sore fingers from said taping and painting: 2 days
Ending up with the most gorgeous room you've ever seen in your life: Priceless


Behold:

So, whattya think?!?

    I think it's absolutely FABULOUS! I still can't believe you did so many stripes- you are such a little painter! I can only imagine the hand cramps. It really does look just blissful!

    That room is gigantic now! What a difference some stripes and window treatments can make. I want to stripe my whole house now. Wanna come over and help? Ha!

    The room looks amazing. Being a flooring guy, I'm glad you retained the hardwood floors. The paint choice, and decor make the room look really classy.

    Love it! I've always wanted to do a room with stripes like that. Our guest bedroom has a greens theme to it right now and we're going to make it sort of a "French countryside" theme overall once we get around to fixing it up a bit :)
