" Thanks for joining the project I'm so excited to be here you know what I love about it is it's a houseful of women. -- and girls were girls mom that's right and so I'm able to make them you know I I get a personality. Help did you really yes. And I understand the colors that the girls -- and that the mother life and that was very important to me because I haven't there'll yet. And I think that it's and put that environment that bedroom -- to be very special this is very early."
" We're working in one of the girls' bedrooms where they're probably gonna have bunk beds over here and you sure as girly pink and lavender."
" Absolutely -- girls told me they loved lavender so and of course they liked pink -- but lavender was color that they wanted and I decided to do -- and the thing about what I'm doing is if you wanted to do. Affection you'd get wallpaper right that this is fun."
" That's the kind of project the growth even argue asking involved right that's right what kind of paint he would we're using acrylic paints a basic latex as a basis and you add that these color -- these beautiful colors that are expanding."
" Right."
" The girls that go with you can help you pick -- the colors for their -- it's a lot of fun when you do with this exposes -- hot -- about me back happening -- how do you get started as a -- you've got some tape they're okay that's as he rolled over the years and we yeah it is our I."
" Usually like to start with my -- pencil and I'd like to sort of mark up the lines and from my -- I'm using a four inch border and back against what I want to do and that might use white paint. So it that I can sort of cover I would slightly above. The pencil outline so that I -- covered with paint and want to pull the tape blocked and I got a really nice sport for."
" These streets line of the top and you're not using any tape on the bottom you know fuzzy land mine and I'd like."
" The pleasant dream because I think if the kids were doing it themselves you wouldn't want to like that. What I'm doing is a four inch. Strike here and it you'll notice that it's not perfect. Doesn't have to be when you roll -- you know it's very natural. Looking so -- pat let me see you -- this one who works I mean this is an actual piece is -- right."
" And you got to the lavender paint it I do."
" Let me get -- that that -- that -- really hit that light and then you might want to add just a little bit tonight okay. Right. I'll object glimpse too much you know what here's what what that's why use the record as a -- that's right so you're just. That's right. To it we've got to like text there are."
" Sure so is that the -- that's an end and then there's got to cover the paint. Pencil lines right yes you do."
" And then -- just take a little paint. -- just went had a little pink and randomly. That gives it moral right right it gives it more texture. They just adds a hint of color and I think that that's. That brings in the paint went -- the hearts. So that it all works together it's all in the same color."
" And we silent -- stimulate the heart to the last thing that yeah. The stripes the next thing that you work yet they are. Well can't see how you've done it over here I started."
" In the corner because I just take that off. And then I got -- I begin the whole room here in the corner. And it just makes -- a lot easier for me when I do it this way I've got a little more inch piece of cardboard. And that helps me to make -- anything that's my guide. OK -- make sure that I remove the excess paint and I take my but a guy here."
" I could use that yardstick I want to."
" It would let it one that was accidentally used an itch benefit relatively. Right but there really horrible -- and the other side wouldn't and that's going to consistent throughout the room. When he notices that its."
" Very important not to overload the roller right -- put too much paint on and we better to go back over it right and if you have any problems like. You you know made it a little too heavy here -- and you go back. And you. -- lifted -- just a little. Add a little pink -- you know even announcements so again. I'd like this like yeah I think it's very good."
" So let me show you on this walk and start to open wide strip -- it can't blame them."
" Especially with -- cards right. -- her parents and I'm gonna. You know and a few minutes I know what you did an excellent okay promise a promise. And just start right here. Take commission except. Picture we have lines. And we -- let's turn it. And the exciting thing. OK Bob return to hand all right."
" Should drop -- right to -- we're just immense. And intricacies -- payments. To smaller amount. Paint that you normally would when -- actually painting the room OK I just picked up some -- and it ruined -- moon that is no I don't think it well. Start there. I want these created here to there -- administrative. And this approach. At a screen it. Yeah because you know it's when you have that kind of irregularity. That that's where the art in this lives I think absolutely sort of primitive work."
" And get it down and primitive it's fun yes he checked again it's -- like we're playing here but what I want to share of the heart yet -- let's get to the hearts. Well. I like to. -- parts first but those very simple I use -- stamping you can buy in any craft store. Any design you want in this is made out of rubber its proper yeah right right and that after finish with the Washington if you want to use it in one of the other kids from underneath -- And when I'm working for instance I started the heart here so the next target. Will be on this all just take this. Because I don't want everything to be line up perfectly."
" You want to -- kind of values sense right."
" And I just want to make sure and get sometimes it won't come out as a full heart and that's a look nice too doesn't it yes I like that -- take this an office space in between these two parts. You know that you're going to be alternating that's right."
" Every other's bases are different place right at that broke apart now."
