Craft Room Update: Phase I

Phase I took place many moons ago, but I'm excited to share the step-by-step process because the project in its entirety is coming to a close soon...the end is near!

If you remember, we started out with a very bright yellow color.

It was very yellow. Like, prepare to wear sunglasses upon entering yellow.

My plan was to paint stripes, but I knew that would takes lots of time because of all the painting and updates we were completing around the house...and with the craft room not being a main living area, it was easier to put that on the back burner.

However, I intentionally picked a color for the main bath that I could use down in my craft room for the stripes, so all I had to buy was one gallon of a coordinating color.

My friend Corie got to work on painting around the edges, I painted with the roller, and my sister snapped pictures.


(the edger she's using was $2 from Walmart and worked AMAZINGLY!)

I love that its a nice muted color that will coordinate with a lot, but the yellow was still trying to fight through. We used the entire gallon painting the room, so I couldn't go over the spots I felt weren't thick enough. However, stripes are in order, so I'm counting on that to help alleviate any concerns I may house about it.

Ever done a job that you feel like is taking forever? Wait until you hear about how long it took me to paint the stripes...
