clownprince 4 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Power. Now my wife is asking for pink stripes liao. *Faints*How do you ensure the stripes are straight? as in perpendicular to the ground. won't like crooked or etc? cos my walls kinda uneven.. hello mrbytez!your wife has good taste hmm it was really hard work i must say because what i did to ensure that it was straight was to move my ruler down the line slowly. i use my ruler to measure the distance between one tape and the next quite consistently as i was sticking from top to bottom. it's not 100% accurate, but i guess a small difference is not going to be obvious! however, i have seen people use a long string.. you would need 2 people for this. one to hold the string at the top, one to mark out points for the tape. you can tie a coin or sth heavy at the end of the string and let it go from the top of the wall. due to gravity, the string will drop and the line u get will be more or less straight. hope this helps! -clownprince's wife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the boldness of colours you used in your flat.....!

W-O-W. Hi Ericb34r - i was forced to - else no end in sight from the wifey - save myself the nagging in future =) Hi mrbytez, halfway i actually felt like strangling someone, and since the only one beside me was the wife, i had to control myself LOLOLOLHi Coyote, yup this is a bit crazy i agree. we spend one entire day doing it. the painting was fast, maybe 2-3 hrs. Trust me when i say its the prep work that kills lolBeautiful piece of wall art. Thanks Patricia! Wow, that's a lot of work. I would have just used Nippon Momento Paint. Hi thwatgmail, actually wallpaper would be better - but wifey insisted on painting walls, so i just do only.She actually wanted to use a template for the mini triangles (aka the cloud project that we did), but i told her no, if want to do just do the real deal. So maybe i 自讨苦吃 (ownself ask for bitter medicine) Edited April 1, 2015 by clownprince Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi CountryGlow actually i dunno know too - i just go with the wife's taste - she's the one with the arty farty ideas and better colour coordination than me, if she says pink then pink. if she says scandi then scandi lor. Anyway the bedrooms i think she wanted those scandinavian kids style de - she interested scandi kids and got all these ideas for bedrooms. I need to ban her from pin interest - she's getting too many ideas for our remaining walls. =( but yes, we'll share the rest of the house =)) make sure that wall is free from stains, esp during housewarming and visits. gosh....We're banning kids from our house haha - wifey has been having nightmares about kids running around, destroying her chalk board drawings, and playing with their cars and trains on our walls LOL Wow...Nice!!!! Well done!Thanks nolifesg =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
