Summer Project

Hey everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't posted for quite awhile. My schedule can get very full and it is hard to get any spare time.
This post is about my bedroom. This past summer I was getting bored with just plain pink walls, so one day I thought of what I could do to spruce them up a little bit. I decided to paint tangerine and brown squares all over my walls. Then painting my walls lead me to redoing my whole bedroom.
The first thing that I had to do was make patterns for my squares. Then I had to make sure that the template for the square was level on my wall so that I didn't have any lopsided-squares (that would drive me insane if they were). And then I had to tape the whole square off so that I would get a nice neat edge. This took a lot of painters tape :) !


This picture shows what one whole wall looks like.

The process did take the whole summer, but I am very pleased with the outcome. It is my favorite place to be in my house. The next pictures are shots of the finished product. (it's a little dark because I took the picture at night and the big globe of light is a pink paper lantern that is on.)



This picture is of my desk. It was my dad's drawing table that he let me use and paint. I used the paint that I have on my walls and hand painted a kind of tree pattern on it.

In the future I would like to go into the field of interior design. This was a really fun summer project for me to do! :)
