This cute geometric DIY can be done during naptime with hues from our Land of Nod collection. With names like Mint Ice Cream and Pineapple Lollipop, your walls will be as sweet as your little. Our Color Nerds take you step-by-step through this nursery design, as featured in the Color Issue of Oregon Home magazine.
You will need
2″ blue painter’s tape
Pencil
Level
Paintbrush
2 3/8″ nap roller and trays
Dropcloth
1 quart of Mint Ice Cream from the Land of Nod color collection
1 quart of Pineapple Lollipop from the Land of Nod color collection
Step 1
Protect your trim from drips and splatters with blue painter’s tape. Use your level and pencil to draw a horizontal straight line 42″ up from the floor.
Step 2
Follow your pencil line with the tape.
Step 3
Seal the tape by putting a thin coat of the base coat color along the edge of the blue painter’s tape. This will ensure a perfectly straight line, as any bleed through under the tape will match the existing color and therefore be undetectable!
Step 4
Using the roller, paint Mint Ice Cream 2/3 of the way along the wall. Let dry. Apply a second coat if needed.
Step 5
Create a diagonal line with blue painter’s tape on top of the Mint Ice Cream.
Step 6
Seal the edge of the tape with Mint Ice Cream. Allow to dry. Cut in the shape with Pineapple Lollipop.
Step 7
Roll the inside of the shape with Pineapple Lollipop. Let dry. Apply a second coat if needed.
Step 8
Remove the tape! Pro Tip: Pull the tape away from the painted area in order to break the seal cleanly.
Voila!
