This weekend mom came up and we decided to paint the baby's room. We have pink on the bottom of the wall that went up just fine. Then we taped off the section for the brown stripe....Not the easiest thing to do since my house isnt level and the mop board has a couple levels so measuring off of it wasnt easy at all. Well, my wall has alot of texture and the taped didnt keep the paint where it was supposed to be. So today i spent all day with a tiny brush painting pink over the brown that bled down and painting dark brown 1/2 inch above our original line with the same tiny brush so there was a straight line! Then on to the circles! We got three different sized of PVC pipe, i dipped them into paint and onto the wall.. You cant see it too well but there are pink and brown circles along the top of the stripe. I still have to do another coat of dark brown on the stripe but im calling it good after that.

The room looks so cute, the circles really brought it all together with your bedding set. Now if you would just decide on a name you could do the letters:)
I love your baby's room, that is so cute! Have you decided on a name for this little girl yet?
So cute...What a great idea!!
