white stripes

{finished product}

1. take everything off walls, patch holes... and if your ones of "those" then you can tape the floor, ceiling, windows, cover all the furniture, etc... i don't have the patience...

2. paint all walls your base color.

3. measure and tape. ( i did 10 inches ) remember to place tape outside the area to be painted... also if something seems off it probably is... don't just keep going ( not that i did that... ) but trust me it will save lots of time if you figure it out right away.

4. paint the stripes with your other color .. or same color different sheen or wall paper... whatever the options are endless.

Garden Cinema

Now that summer has finally come, I want to spend these warm nights outside watching my favorite movies with my family +friends. As a child, I would look forward to the summertime when my family and I would jump in the old station wagon and head out to the drive-in. Homemade popcorn, thermoses of lemonade, m&ms, and tons of blankets would fill the car to make for the perfect movie watching experience.

Since drive-in theaters are a thing of the past, why not recreate those memories today in your own backyard?
