Painted Pink Candy-Stripped Walls for my daughter's room
*Options I considered for this project:
Mainly just a creative project to add some color to my daughter's room
* Cost Comments:
paint -$40; supplies $15
*My motivation to do this project:
Redecorate my daughter's room
*Project Steps:
Created design I wanted to use for candy stripes
Selected colors for paint (three colors of pink)
Measured entire room - stripes where going on lower chair rail of wall
Determined the width of each section and strip in order to have even flow of sections and stipes
measure and penciled marked wall for each section
Day 1- Using blue painters tape - taped-off first sections - light pink
Painted all light pink sections and let dry for a day
Day 2 - Using blue painters tape - taped-off first sections - 2nd darkest pink
Painted all light pink sections and let dry for a day
Day 3 - tapped off the candy strips (about 1/4 each wide) for the darkest pink color;
Painted dark pink areas and let dry for a day
Day 4 - touch up and clean up
Advice:

I would have loved a room like that when I was younger.

Too much pink, I like the bottom treatment, but I would come back in and paint the walls a nice bright white and then accent the walls with some pink wall decorating items.
