One Stripe Becames Two

I really wanted two brown stripes around the top of the nursery walls and didn't want to take no for an answer, but after discussing it with Matt, we decided to do one thick stripe- we thought it might be easier and take less time. Although it might have been easier it ended up being a bit of a headache. Matt did a wonderful job and worked really hard! He finished painting and decided it was time to pull off the blue tape. The paint had bled behind the tape so the lines weren't crisp...they were just a little fuzzy. Needless to say, Matt wasn't happy. Matt, being the perfectionist that he is, wasn't about to leave it like it was so we decided to re-tape the stripe and try again. We didn't love the one big thick stripe so we decided to try for two, like I originally wanted. And, this time...it worked! Our friend Jimmy was a huge help to Matt in turning the one stripe into two stripes, just as I had imagined. The pictures don't really do it justice, but it at least gives you an idea of what it looks like. Great job Matt and thanks for all your hard work!
