I love color, and as long as I can remember, I have always lingered a little too long on the paint aisle of any home improvement store perusing the paint sample strips and dreaming up projects. This got me thinking - why not mimic the ombre look of those paint strips by painting graduated stripes on the walls? If I were ever going to try it anywhere, the nursery seemed like the ideal space.
The first question was what color? We wanted to create a nursery that was gender neutral, but rather that the typical yellow or green, we opted for shades of teal. We wanted to paint five wide stripes on the wall,
My husband and I sat down and hashed out our different ideas for how to best tackle the project in search of a plan that would ensure the crispest lines with the least amount of measuring and taping. Finally we agreed on a plan - and I am proud to say that while it was time consuming, it was very manageable and the results were exactly what we had hoped for.
You can find lots of more pictures of this gender-neutral, modern animal themed nursery on my blog!
