March Madness

I'm only a little into college basketball, but the March madness I'm referring to is my nesting period. I find it hilarious that I'm taking on projects right now that have no real purpose (I should be concentrating on the nursery), but I get an idea in my head and have to finish it. The past few weeks has been the downstairs guest bath. It started as light blue when we moved in, but then I went with more of a teal/metallic theme and wanted to change the bathroom. We had it painted a dark teal, but something was still missing. So I decided to try a stencil. I've never stenciled before in my life and the one's sold at JoAnnes and Michaels are small and only one kind of went with what I was thinking of. I got it home and realized it was way too small, but being too cheap and impatient to get another stencil, I decided to quadruple and invert it to make a new design. It took a lot longer and a lot more work than I thought (as does everything I start), but the bathroom's done, I love the outcome, but won't stencil anything else ever again. : )

I think it looks great; great job for being so motivated when you are more than likely feeling like a blob...well thats how I felt.
