Operation Den Makeover is Underway!

We're at it again...another crazy paint job that not even I can believe we're doing! These first two pictures are my inspiration. I took these pictures at a Pardee Model Home in Vegas last weekend. I saw this headboard and fell in love. So much so that I turned to Jake and I said, "Let's paint an entire den wall with this pattern." Oh if you could be a fly on the wall when I suggested that!


Day 1: Paint the makeover wall Ultra Pure White.
Day 2: Bang head against white wall trying to figure out the measurements and calculations. (If you really want to test your marriage try this out)!
Day 3: Begin taping all the while questioning your sanity in attempting something so laborious.
Break time! P.S. Do you like my new hair do?
Here's Matani pretending to be in jail.Day 4: Tape some more.
(Despite Jake looking like the star in this picture I will tell you that I had no help with the taping. Yep, that's right I taped every single mile of tape BY MYSELF! Jake really was very supportive though. He helped me figure out the measurements and pointed out where I was uneven with my lines. Thanks Babe!)
By my calcuations Operation Den Wall Makeover should be done on Tuesday at 11:30pm. Check back for the big reveal!
