All week, we’ve been (finally) painting our living room and dining room. And by “we” I mean Jason:
Remember, I’m pregnant. FUMES! (Was I supposed to leave the house when he was painting? If so, OOPSIE.
But, seriously, that room needed a serious overhaul. Here’s what it looked like just a few weeks ago:
Am I riiiiiight?
Thankfully, those couches are long gone and we got some cash instead – which paid for another couch. Long story. I’ll fill you in later.
Anywho, the point of this post is to seek some advice. We’re painting the rooms a neutral color, but the plan is to do horizontal stripes on the longest wall… which is about 25 feet long.
They’ll be about 15 inches wide, but I cannot FOR.THE.LIFE.OF.ME. get the first line straight.
I’ve been measuring from the ceiling, but apparently the ceiling isn’t even?! (WTH?)
Any ideas? Tips? Anyone done anything similar and have a suggestion that will work?
