Do you have something around your house like a wall or a piece of art that in and of itself you really like? Then you decide you want to tweek it just a bit but then become terrified that you are going to ruin it once you begin? That was me today.
Remember that picket fence piece in my kitchen that I added the chevron stripe to?
I must first confess that I supposed to be helping my son shovel out and reorganize his room today. We got about half way done and decided we needed a break {they have a snow day again today}.

Well in my quest to add more navy to the main floor I decided to add a navy and even a gray stripe to the aqua.....*gulp*. I was a bit terrified, because I love this addition to the kitchen and I didn't want to ruin it!
{To bring the drama down a bit my smart friend reminded me that I could always repaint the whole thing~but who wants to do that!}
First let me show you how this picket fence was constructed. In its former life it was a fireplace screen!
It was easy to tape off by just eyeballing the current stripe and adding my frog tape. I used craft acrylic paint and a small brush.
OK, I can breathe.....it turned out better than I expected.
Alright I took a long enough break. Now I'd better get back to Cam's room, unless I can come up with another "break" idea............
Thanks for stopping by!
