The Stripe Saga Cont.

Maybe it's not so much of a saga...but I'm going to go with that...

So.  When last we chatted about the stripes, I was at a standstill with a very Suessical looking Frogtaped bathroom. 

Jack liked the look, but he is pretty much the only one.  Oh, and as a little aside - that green chair that keeps making an appearance?  That is the time-out chair.  That corner is a prime location that I can see from anywhere downstairs...so...yeah :(

I didn't want to spend anymore money on different paint, so I went ahead and tried to mix my own.  I took a little bit of the grey paint from the living room and poured it into my white paint, gave it a good shake and started rollin'. 

Forgive me for taking these at night, they all have that weird yellowy cast.  Bleh.  Anyway - I rolled and rolled and then finally took off the tape and was SO happy with the color. 

It's stripey, no doubt about it, but it isn't too crazy.  It still has a soft look.  I also really love that way it gives so much attention to the boys silhouettes.

It is definitely a far cry from where we started!  Shall we do a little before and after?  Just for kicks?  Okay lets! 

Before - different color paints on the wall, toilet clogged (with a toothbrush!), stinky rusted toilet seat -

After -

There are still some little things that we need to do, things like add a toilet paper holder, get a little rug, but they are minor things when you think back to the very beginning. 

That said.  If I don't see green painter's tape for a while, that will be okay!
