Super easy weekend project!
I Decided to paint a feature wall in my kitchen! I’m really into geometric shapes right now and the next few projects I have planned will reflect this.
I used some skinny tape to mark my lines and then put yellow frog tape on each side of the skinny tape and then removed the thin tape in the middle that was marking my straight line, this way my lines were all the same thickness and it was a really easy way to make sure I liked my line placement. I tried to make sure i had no two lines parallel with each other so that my pattern looked random and abstract. To limit the gold paint from bleeding and make certain my lines would be as crisp as possible I did a first coat with navy (same as wall color) over the taped lines- this kinda seals up the edges of the tape with the wall. Taping my lines was the most tedious part of this project but once they were on, it was as easy as waiting for coats of paint to dry. And I love the finished product! Really adds a POP to our kitchen!
Check out the project on my Instagram, I will be posting some process photos and videos soon. @halfwayhandy

Color was a Sherwin Williams Exterior Grey Stain
With the help of taking wood sample to Sherwin Williams along with our daughter we picked the stain and the color. Interesting thing is that the exterior stain actually goes on easier than interior and is as safe as interior.

The Plans
Folks I am going to tell you to suggest you get the frame and hardware at place called products america .They have a link to plans that were on a magazine web site for sale. I got the plans but the crib you see only used those plans to get started. If you look at each side independently you will notice that you can build this with Free and better written plans for Ana-White farmhouse bed. yes, you'll do a little modifying for the sides but as we build that is beauty of everything we build in that we build for the size we need. The plans from build America will help with dimensions. The other key with a crib safety and the fact that it must be assembled and disassembled in the room. The plans from build america will attempt to show how to install threaded inserts. I found Youtube and other instructions to be much better. My build has fixed sides meaning the front and the back do not come down. And I did not set it up to be convertable.
