Stripes!

Rather than wrap up any of the other projects that have yet to be completed in our house, I decided to do the second coat of Behr Dolphin Fin in our king guest bedroom on Friday. Then on Sunday, I started the stripes, using Behr Swiss Coffee – both paints in a satin finish – and I got about halfway done with the room. It’s safe to say I am in LOVE. Here are a few sneak peaks from my iPhone for those that don’t follow me on Instagram.

The process is tedious {which I had sort of forgotten just how tedious since the last time I painted stripes}, but definitely worth it in the end. I just love the personality stripes bring to any given room! It’s already come a LONG ways just by changing out the paint.

In other news, I found the fabric I was looking for to use in this room super cheap at Barras Fabrics. I was a little nervous because I had never heard of this store before, but they shipped the item out the morning after I ordered it and provided tracking immediately. Great service! And the fabric was about $15 less a yard than any other store I could find. Not bad! I will definitely be checking their site out first the next time I need to order fabric. Now I just need to find some cheap Celerie Kemble Betwixt which will never happen.

So, are you a fan of the stripes, or are you over the striped wall trend? I’m hoping to have a legit reveal soon!
