jazz up your bathroom!

stripes can jazz up a plain white bathroom in no time! we love stripes!

we found that five stripes look great (the trusty odd numbers decorating rule).

a cool trick i learned on trading spaces was to first roll the wall color over the painter's tape to purposefully bleed the wall color beneath the tape, if bleeding were to occur. then when you use the bright stripes color, there is no more bleeding......so when you pull the tape off you have a clean line that needs no touch up. for example: for the walls above we used 2" painter's tape where the white stripes (original wall color) are. we rolled the white color right over the tape, yes, right over the tape. after this dried, we filled in between the tape with the gold and green colors. after everything dried and we peeled the painter's tape off, no touch-up was needed.
