design fail: stenciled roller blinds

After finishing my bedroom curtains, I felt cocky and decided to stencil my roller blinds.  The headboard has a giant fleur di lis, so I stenciled a navy blue fleur di lis on the roller blind.


I should have stopped while I was ahead.




It didn't quite turn out the way it looked in my head. In my head it was cool, with a random pattern.  In real life it is..not cool.  And apparently I am too OCD to actually do a random pattern, because with the exception of one misplaced stencil, it looks like a pretty evenly spaced staggered pattern.

So! I've ruined two blinds.  I need to fall back and regroup here.  I feel that there have been a  bunch of design fails around here lately.

However, in very exciting news, I FINALLY finished the dining room curtains I made out of shower curtains.  But its now 11 pm on Thursday night, so I'll wait till Friday to take pictures. Hopefully by lunchtime on Friday I'll have a post up.

I am not going to think about the fact that my little ones will wake me up in about six hours.

  1. I love the idea though of something blue on the blinds. Can you just add more to what you have? And, I love the new bed! Beautiful!
