We finished around 7pm and then put everything back in the room. Kristin and I were working as fast as we could to finish this wall up and like I said, it took about 4 hours with us both painting. If you let the stripes dry overnight, you could tape them again, but I like to paint them in even though it’s a slow process to carefully paint int he lines. After two coats of paint (if needed, a few were perfect with one), I used a paint brush to cut in the lines. Once the stripes are taped, it’s really fast to paint inside the taped areas. We also added a stripe of it to the rainbow wall to pull the colors together. Blue Chalk. I buy the sample jars in the Marquee line (highest quality) in an eggshell finish.
Custom Color (I’ll show a picture of the can below) 6. If I painted inside of that, it’d be the wrong height.įor this wall, I used the same paint colors I used on the rainbow tub. For instance, the top stripe is ready to paint, but the next stripe has tape on the top and bottom of it. You’ll want every other row to be the whole 6″ tall. If you’re doing this project, MAKE SURE that you put the tape in the correct spot, so the top row has tape below the pencil row and then the second row has tape above the pencil row. Then I pulled out my painter’s tape and taped on the bottom of the pencil line. I used a level to draw lines with pencil down the wall. Then, since I was using 15 colors, I divided 90 by 15 which meant that each stripe was 6″. I started by measuring the wall- it was 90″ from the ceiling to the top of the baseboard. Kristin was fine with a rainbow wall, so I brought my paint over and we started painting! The whole wall took probably 4 hours to paint and then we reassembled the room. I suggested doing scallops or a rainbow wall. By changing the layout, the bed wall just felt blank and sad. The next morning, I really wanted to add a statement wall behind the bed. We were happy with how it came together, but it felt like it was missing something. We shopped for more art since we didn’t have the wallpaper moment. Kristin and I spent Friday putting the room together. That was going to be our big statement for the room! It was a bummer. We had wallpaper for above the board and batten, but there was a printing mistake and it was printed at the wrong scale so we couldn’t match up the seams. At that point, we decided to change the layout to center the bed under the window.
She painted the wall while I painted the bed. Kristin was already there and had put up a board and batten wall and emptied the room. So they sent the other two for free! Nora’s room progress Side story, I ordered three and the shop was out of stock on one color. It’s all perfect!Īnd for my last inspiration image, I love this collection of horse ribbons where a headboard would normally be! I ended up finding my horse ribbons at an antique shop, but I also got a few on Etsy (just search vintage horse ribbon). This image is probably my favorite of all time! That wallpaper (which I found a link to) is SO special! And I love the little shelf with horses on it. I couldn’t find anything like these, but I wanted to share what I was looking for in case anyone else is doing a horse inspired girl room! Another fun idea is to look for trophies or lamps with a trophy shape to add to the equestrian theme. I love how in this image, the horse ribbons are framed. I searched for all of those while shopping and found a few horses! Also can you get over the custom horseshoe bookcase?! It’s so cute!!! This image has horse toys, horse ribbons, and vintage horse tags. I love a good theme so I spent a few weeks vintage shopping looking for items that would work in a kids room and reflect what Nora likes.
Since Nora loves horses, all this inspiration is dedicated to that. There were already gorgeous wood floors, new shutters on the windows, cute vintage dresser and nightstand, and the bed was hand built for Nora. We wanted to make the room a little more exciting, but it was already a really special space! Her mom, Kaitlyn has amazing style and loves vintage. Here’s how Nora’s room looked when we first started on the space. I quickly said yes- a chance to design a room for a special little girl? Definitely! I’m going to show you the before photos, the inspiration, and how we got to the final space. The idea is that by redoing her room, she can have a beautiful place to heal and have some hope for the future! She loves pink and horses and so I was so excited to help design her horse inspired girl room! She is 5 and recently had open heart surgery. A few weeks ago, Builds by Kristen invited me to help her makeover a room for a little girl, Nora.
