Filtering through colors.

Pinning photos and laying out stripe options using Valspar’s colors and Word.

Measuring (what would I have done without you, Imelda??).

Taping and taping and re-taping.

Sealing the tape. (This is the tutorial I followed.
I sealed it with the base color, just fyi, aaaand it worked!)

Painting, painting, painting.

And theeeeeeen…

…it was done, yay!

The stripes are…bold, wow.

But the Shoephabet gives those stripes purpose.

James drew those letters when he was in college and won first place in a juried art exhibit.

He claims to despise them, “college work,” in his terms.

I actually may have married him to have access to this art for a future kids’ room.

Okay, so there’s lots else I love about him too…
But if you agree that they’re AWESOME, please leave tons of comments.
Normally, I don’t plead for comments, but this time, I’ve got something to prove…
that my husband and his work ROCK!

So back to the room. I trimmed up the existing curtains to fit the window.
Love the floor-length idea, but it just kept getting in the way of his bed.
This time they were actually too long (‘member how they were too short
in Jaeda’s room?), so I had to hem them a second time. Someday I’ll get it…

This is an example of the clean lines. WOW. That tutorial WORKED.

I didn’t come into my robe-wearing days til I got married.
Corban, however, loves wearing his robe.

George keeps Corban’s birthday chair warm.

Some shoes are feminine, others masculine.
I actually started writing an alphabet book based on these letters.
Maybe I’ll pick that up again now that I have daily inspiration…

I moved the wire rack, although I don’t really feel like it’s serves much purpose right now…

Looking for a different rug. Not sure yet what I’m looking for. A 3’x5′ is all I know…
And eventually an actual bedframe and not just the trundle (but thanks, neighbors, for it!!).
Oh. And that comforter and sheets? It was James’ was he was a boy. How’s that for Lands’ End quality?!
DSC_6385

And one last look. It’s a bit bolder than I imagined…I think. But James loves, so I love it.

Oh. And Corban loves it. Watch.

    I always thought the shoephabet was a good idea ever since I saw it win. Corban’s reaction is so thoughtful “workin’ so hard!” adorable!

    Those letters really are amazing! I was trying to figure out what they were, then you showed them close up, and I could see them and thought they were the coolest thing ever for a little boy’s room and wondered if they were expensive or if you printed them off the computer somehow… then you said James did them! BRAVO James! Those are awesome!

      I will be sure to pass this on to James; he needs this confidence boosting sometimes, though I’m not sure why when he’s such a talented artist!

      This I know, and I’m SO glad someone else gets to benefit from his creativity!
