Striped

The living room at Hunter Drive has been giving me the blahs.  I know we need a full makeover complete with new curtains, pillow shams, rug and more contemporary lighting.  Since I plan to make the curtains and pillows myself it will take some time before things are "fixed".  On Sunday, in the middle of Hurricane Irene, I just couldn't take it anymore.  During a lull in the storm, I jumped in the car and drove to Home Depot (sorry Lowes, I had a gift card) where I purchased some paint and tape to stripe an accent wall in the living room.  I had been following a couple of tutorials on Green Street Blog and Young House Love, which were the inspiration for this project.  I think we're off to a good start!
