weekend warriors

after four and a half years, i finally finished painting the hallway (kids) bathroom. (well, i still need to repaint the trim, but i'll do it when i paint the crown moulding downstairs) it had been sitting in blue primer limbo for nearly two years. i decided that i was unable to look at it anymore in it's current state, and attacked it with a vengeance on friday. it is the denim painting technique by ralph lauren, which requires doing opposite panels over two days, and time restrictions, and multiple steps, so i actually completed the project yesterday. adam even rewarded my efforts with a sweet new light fixture. i had done the denim & chambray in my old house, and thought solid denim would be super cool for the bathroom. surprisingly, the dark colors make the room appear larger, perhaps due to the vertical striping. and the white stitching (yes, all hand-painted with a stencil!) brightens up the entire area. be sure to check it out the next time that you're over!
