Honey, I ruined the room!

Ted’s away this week so he hasn’t seen my paint job yet. I figure if I describe it as awful, I’ll prepare him for an extreme and perhaps he’ll come home and assure me that it isn’t that bad..after all, expectations are everything… 🙂

But I thought it’d be fun to share some pictures here so he can see it…along with everyone else who reads this blog…

Here’s a “before” (walls that didn’t get painted with Watercolor Walls) and an “after” from the girls’ bedroom:

Perhaps this picture captures the Watercolor Squash better:

    Looks good to me…I wouldn’t even have tried, so I think you’re very brave.

    Looks good to me too! What kind of paint technique is that?

    Thanks for the encouragement! Now I think I like it too…

    The technique is Watercolor Walls. http://www.watercolorwalls.com/
    basically using a rag to apply diluted acrylic over pale latex paint…fun!
