The past couple weeks, I've been working on painting and doing a border in Adam's room. The walls were too plain, i thought it needed something! I put up a border (with my mom's help!) and 'rag painted' underneath the border. i left the top the original neutral color. Rag painting is fun. You start with a base coat, which i used a light blue, then take a rag (or old t-shirt) and lightly dab a darker shade overtop the basecoat with the rag. it gives it a textured look. Adam doesn't like the room, he wanted purple! i think it's safe to say, he'll thank me one day for his blue room. i have a couple spots i want to touch-up, but overall am pleased with how it turned out.
You can kinda see the effect of the rag painting from this picture.....

The finished room looks great. Nice work! I'm guessing Adam will appreciate it one day soon.
