the big reveal :: striped walls

I can't believe I finally get to post pictures of the finished product.






Obviously, this was the wall that took the longest to finish.




I know. It's a *little* busy. And bright. Can you see why I was second-guessing myself when I was midway through the project?!

Keep in mind that the painted wall is where 7's loft bed will go. Therefore, more than half of the wall will be {mostly} covered.



Excuse my crude photoshop skills, but you get the picture.


I admit that I feel better knowing that a lot of the orange will be covered up by a giant loft bed. Regardless, 7 loves it. And that's what counts.

Inspiration for the striped loft wall came from here.
