It’s time to start dropping bebé… I only need to do one last trip to the baby store to be completely ready for your arrival. Everything else is waiting for you. This week, people’s comments about the hugeness, grossness, [...]

Painting Stripes Part 3: Taping »

Finally ending the story of my experience painting stripes in our baby’s nursery, here I’ll talk about the method I followed to tape the masks for the stripes. As I said earlier, I do have relatively flat walls, so this post is not about how to effectively mask stripes on heavily textured walls. This is [...]
