pretty in pink


i had several rooms in the house painted last week. bob did a great job, for a great price. a and i had talked about how we could make the space more neutral, but still keep a little bit of the salmon pink colored texture on the walls. this is what we came up with:

i cut flower shapes out of contact paper in varying sizes with my Cricut. then, i peeled off the back and put them randomly on the pink walls.


i had to hurry because bob was ready to paint.




i made sure the edges were all smoothed down with no air bubbles for paint to seep in.




then bob painted 2 coats over the top of the contact paper flowers.




and i went upstairs and peeled the stickers off of the walls.





i love that you can still see the dragged texture.




it looks so much better! a loves it! it was the easiest painting project i've ever not done!
