Closet Reno | Seeing Stripes

I cannot blog as fast as we are working on this closet!  To see where we started, click here.

Today we added the stripes to the back wall of the closet.  I used an amazing tip I found at Centsational Girl on painting clean stripes.

• You first paint your wall color over your tape (I know, Jeff thought it was nuts too)
• Let that dry
• Then you paint your stripe color
• Take your tape off while your paint is still a little wet

Well always anxious to try out something new, this is exactly what I did.  Here is the result!

A few flub ups on the top line but all in all, the most clean stripes I have ever done!

Not sure why the shelf is looking so yellow….but I LOVE THEM!!

 If you are keeping score at home…

• Paint the walls and ceiling – Done! Thanks Hubby..
• Take out base boards – Done! 
• Build the base shelf and platform - Shelf done – platform TBD!
• Paint some awesome pattern on the back wall – Done!
• Build the hook panel on the back wall
• Build the top shelf or cubbies
• Determine additional options for hang up coats
• Add cushion to top of bench in amazing fabric
• Fill with new shoes and coats (Ok, wasn’t in the original plan but I added this one!:)

Next up – Hooks and platform for the shelf…fabric is on the way!
