I remember when I was in college I used to re-paint empty apartments and could always tell a kids room by the layer of slime on the wall. :) Now my own kid has it. It cracks me up. But rainbows are dreamy and happy and always the solution to everything.

I really hope that no matter how many years go by that the two of you have some hand in her future rooms as well. What a great way to build some lasting memories for a kid, guaranteed she'll be telling stories about her awesome childhood room (And if in the future she has kids herself, I'm sure she'll be inspired to give them awesome rooms too)Kristi O.https://komakesthings.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-16319922008667109222020-09-25T17:48:02.445-04:002020-09-25T17:48:02.445-04:00I had no idea it had a name.

Then before you paint, press down the tape edges as firmly as you can with your fingers. If you have a relatively smooth wall, your lines will be just about perfect. The bumpier the wall, the more touch-up you may have to do after. <br /><br />Oh, one other tip: you can buy sample size paints at Home Depot & Lowe's for about $3, which usually cover MUCH better than craft paint, have a better sheen, AND they'll custom color-match them for you. Highly recommend for rainbows.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-7852883665978748562020-09-24T22:30:07.204-04:002020-09-24T22:30:07.204-04:00Oh wow, thx for the link, I'm fascinated to kn...Oh wow, thx for the link, I'm fascinated to know it has a name!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-5593793819812858212020-09-24T22:29:07.130-04:002020-09-24T22:29:07.130-04:00I had to ask John on this one: he says that's ...I had to ask John on this one: he says that's not uncommon with stencils, since the pigments they used back then gets reactivated by the successive layers of paint, and floats to the top. So the next time you go to paint over those sections, get either some Bin or any NON-water-based primer. That'll finally seal & cover it for good.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-32140450768139632452020-09-24T18:06:15.928-04:002020-09-24T18:06:15.928-04:00You two are amazing...and Ellie is a very very luc...You two are amazing...and Ellie is a very very lucky girl.hyphen8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-79597244390506794752020-09-24T18:04:43.877-04:002020-09-24T18:04:43.877-04:00What a lucky girl she is You guys are amazing!!!!...What a lucky girl she is You guys are amazing!!!!jen marthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13730713273797289527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-50551333731358303812020-09-24T15:10:35.172-04:002020-09-24T15:10:35.172-04:00that's amazing, I would have loved this as a c...that's amazing, I would have loved this as a child.
