So I couldn't get the pics organized how I wanted but you get the idea. The wall started off beige and then we colored over that with "Dapper" a purple-blue-gray color. After that dried for a couple of days Conan and I tried our hand at the faux painting technique ragging. Note to self....no more husband wife painting projects. It's just too stressful. It didn't turn out and we had to paint over it with dapper again. A few days later I tried it again only changing our technique a little and came out with a cloudy look which is kinda what I was going for, but not exactly. It was impossible not to get lines. Grrrr! I didn't care though because I was done painting at this point. So we moved Adrie's furniture back in and she slept in her own room in her big girl bed last night and did great. Thank heavens. Now I'm on to my next project. Hope it goes smoother than this one did.
