After seeing my post of inspiration for a
Preppy Alligator Nursery, my friend fell in love with the idea of a Preppy Nursery, complete with Argyle Wall for her baby boy. I designed this room idea for her.
Then she asked me if I could paint the wall. errr, um, ahhhh, ahem.
Design is one thing. Execute in a REAL ROOM?!! I design sets. If I mess up, no one has to live with the consequences. This child will grow up in this room. That's a lot of pressure.
However, my sputtering did not deter my friend's confidence in me. So, this week I'm in Toronto, and I'm attempting to practice what I
preach blog. Armed with a measuring tape, laser level and paint, I will attempt to turn an ordinary wall into a sock! (that's what my mom says it looks like!) Stay tuned for pics AND video of the results.
Can't wait to see how it turns out! There was a time in my teens when i was into penny loafers and rugby sweaters that I would've loved an argyle wall in my room!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!!!!! Though I prefer to think of it as more of a sweater than a sock on the wall. The vote of confidence was entirely justified. Thanks again Sara.
ReplyDeletewall done. now how do we incorporate the penny loafers into the decor?
