Shortcut Tween Room ... ok ok, 8yr old room


NO MEASURING TAPE!
NO PENCIL MARKS!
This was so easy and came out so cute!  I created the vertical stripes using blue painters tape.  I avoided needing to use a measuring tape by following the vertical line of the wall.  This is really easy to do.  Don't forget to firmly adhere the blue painter's tape to the wall by pressing down along the seam with a credit card!
I couldn't find a traditional stencil for the size polka dot I wanted, so I ended up using an embroidery loom at a fabric store.   I simply traced around the inner portion with my paintbrush and painted the rest.  I used acrylic paint and only needed two coats of paint. 

Seriously easy.
Seriously cute.

Thank you to Celeste Trudeau Interior Design for color and decor inspiration!
