Rainbows Forever

Evareaux is on a huge rainbow kick. Rainbows and pony's make up 75% of her life right now. Who could blame her? They are just so happy. So I decided to be a cool Mom and paint an accent wall in her room accordingly. Here's how it turned out...

I wanted the colors to sort of match up with that triangle blanket and am so happy with the way it looks! She even helped me a bit in the process...

That "Be Happy" mirror melts me. I found it at Marc's (a low end grocery store) for $2.50. Can you believe that?! I have a lot of other plans for this rainbow room, but for now she loves it.

and since I'm still a kid at heart I decided to use the same colors for my own accent wall in my office. Why not? I had the paint already. I originally planned on doing a ton of triangles. Something more like this...

except covering the entire space. I sketched it out and fully intended on doing this (I sketch like a total pro, ya'll)...

But then I got the first three lines of tape up, stepped back, and thought... hey, that's pretty dang cool just like that! I'm pleased with the way it turned out and as a bonus I didn't have to tape off a gillion triangles and worry about the paint seeping or stuff being uneven. Winning. The paint is even more vibrant in person, if you can believe that.

Here's a typical day in the office (filters tone down the bright paint a lot). Stacks of scrap crap. Sewing machine on the floor. A super adult coffee mug. A little bugger swiping my favorite pens... so that's where they all go!...

Be back soon. It's nap time (the best time!) so I need to get to work in that very professional and grown up rainbow office of mine. ;)
