Baby's Room

We turned one of the spare rooms into the official baby's room! V tried a new painting idea, where he painted stripes using flat and semi-gloss paint, but both are the same color. The finish makes it look like different colors, depending on how the light hits it. Lots of masking is required, but it turned out pretty cool. We added a chair rail, and painted the lower part a darker blue.



Trying to get the tape straight was a pain...


You can see the striped effect here...oooo..ahhh!














Still working on painting wooden airplanes that V cut out of plywood, which will go along the top of the walls instead of using a border (if they turn out ok). They are a larger version of the planes on the bedding material. They look like huge glowing cookies in one of these photos.

V NEVER EVER EVER does anything half-donkey. Man, looking at your son's room and all the work you've done makes me feel like a wannabe dad. If only I had your energy! Suffice it to say that his room is cool looking. I have a whole house that needs you. :)
