I Got Our Bedroom Painted Finally!

[SlitherinSisters]

I have the same problem with my cats. It may be a good thing my curtains are nailed to the wall... my 20 some odd pound cat likes to lay in the window when the curtains are closed, and he pulls on the curtains pretty hard. My other cat paws at them... lil demons. I can't have the mini-blinds either...the cats break them by forcing their way through all the time... which is why I chose the cheap sheets from Wal-Mart. If they destroy them, it's not too much of a disaster. (I hadn't tried actual curtains before and I wasn't sure how long they would last...)

Lol no kidding about them being little demons!!!

how the heck did you get it aligned so good? Love it!!!!!! We are doing our house now too...We thought we were wild with the Texas Longhorn orange (HOOKEM HORNS). Im going to show my husband this. I might do a bathroom or kitchen and maybe smaller squares so as not to copy...and def agree with the other posts on a solid bedspread...IMO I wouldnt do any wall hangings, I would do some kind of accents like tall stand alone candle holders with one candle of each color. Or if you did do wall hangings, maybe a simple canvass of solid color and hang it like a diamond to contrast against the squares...but thats just my opinon.....Im sure it will look great whatever you decide

Oh my gosh, I love the idea about the canvass hung like a diamond!

Thank you very much! You trick is to not look to close, then the squares look perfect We have a laser leveler, but the darn thing was too heavy to tape to the wall, even with dutch tape so I had to try my darnedest to make the lines straight by measuring down from the line above and putting pencil marks. The up and down lines were harder, now that I think of it I should have just used something with a 90 degree angle

I would be flattered if you "copied" me It was A LOT of work, but totally worth it! I love going into our bedroom. I've taken up playing on my laptop and watching TV in there!
